Description
Hikikomori: Adolescence Without End by Tamaki Saitō This book explores the phenomenon of hikikomori, a social withdrawal that affects an estimated one million Japanese adolescents and young adults. First published in Japan in 1998, Saitō's work has sparked a national debate about the causes and extent of this condition. Now available in English, this translation promises to bring attention to the issue in the English-speaking world. Drawing on his clinical experience with hikikomori patients, Saitō creates a working definition of social withdrawal and explains its development. He argues that hikikomori sufferers manifest a specific, interconnected series of symptoms that do not fit neatly with any single, easily identifiable mental condition, such as depression. This book sheds light on a pressing social issue, highlighting the challenges faced by those who withdraw from society and the consequences for their future.
