Watsuji, Intentionality, and Psychopathology

“…Kimura, Schizophrenia, and the Ipseity-Disturbance Model of Schizophrenia I am not the first to see a link between Watsuji's work on betweenness and psychopathology. The Japanese psychiatrist Bin Kimura explicitly appeals to Watsuji in various texts exploring the character of different mental disorders (Stevens 2003;Van Duppen 2017). For example, Kimura argues that a cluster of phobias common among Japanese patients but rarely found among non-Japanese patients-phobias that are, he says, part of a more "general fear of facing others" (taijin kyofu-sho), such as a fear that one's face is ugly or red, that one's body smells badly, or a fear of being looked at or making inappropriate eye contact-can be illuminated by acknowledging the predominantly relational or betweenness-oriented sense of self distinctive of Japanese culture (Kimura 1972; see also Arisaka 2001).…”
