Child psychiatry in Japan.
Japanese society strongly influences the mode of presentation of child mental health problems, both in terms of protective factors and pressures inherent in Japanese child-rearing practices. Recent changes in society associated with Japan's rapid economic development are affecting the mental health of children and families. Currently there is concern about levels of school refusal, bullying, suicidal behavior, and delinquency.
