Abstract The Japanese theoretical contributions in Psychoanalysis and its cultural practice have taken a significant role in the history of Psychoanalysis and its development since the 1950s. Perhaps it was fo...r the first time in the genesis of psychoanalytic practice that a consistent combined clinical and cultural perspective was brought about from one single country with one common goal, that is to understand the Japanese mind, in the works of Keigo Okonogi, Takeo Doi and Osamu Kitayama. The three theoretical positions- (i)the Ajase Complex; (ii) Concept of Amae; and (iii)the Prohibition of Don't Look, conceived by the above mentioned three theoreticians/psycho-analysts respectively, brought about a deep change in approach to Psychoanalysis in Japan. This paper attempts to draw upon these theoretical aspects in elaboration through exposition into both cultural and clinical contexts/material from Japan, and exploring its implementation in the Indian clinical and cultural contexts-exploring their many similarities and differences.show more
