A Japanese Jungian perspective on mental health and culture, Wandering Madness explores differences between Western and Japanese models of mental health. It argues that while the advent of modern mental health has brought about seminal changes in our understanding of and relationship to those who face its challenges, the cure also seems to be something of the cause, as the classification of mental disorders continues to expand and increasing numbers of people show up to fill them. In this book, psychiatrist and Jungian analyst Iwao Akita presents a new theory of psychology in order to highlight what has been lost in our rush to medicalize the psyche, as well as offer a remedy for restoring balance.
