日本经常被描述为一个复杂而矛盾的社会，最先进的技术和古老的文化传统并存。在日本，植根于统一性和种族纯洁性的社会凝聚力长期以来一直是一种隐含的、规范性的理想，而多样性作为内在价值仍然是一个相对较新的概念。在这种单一文化环境中，跨文化夫妇经常遇到与性别角色的文化约束观念以及遵守隐性文化理想的社会压力相关的问题。未解决的过去情感伤害的痛苦也可能浮出水面，这通常会导致夫妻陷入负面的情感循环。本文将讨论洋子和弗兰克的案例，他们接受了以情感为中心的治疗方法，在这种方法中，他们的情感冲突，特别是他们的羞耻感，在每个伴侣发展自我和其他情绪调节能力的同时得到了解决。治疗师还帮助这对夫妇发展了积极情感互动的新模式。
Japan is often described as an intricate yet contradictory society in which the elements of the most advanced technologies and ancient cultural traditions coexist. Social cohesion rooted in uniformity and ethnic purity has long been the implicit, normative ideal in Japan, while diversity as intrinsic value is still a relatively new concept. In this monocultural milieu, intercultural couples often encounter issues associated with culturally‐bound notions of gender roles and the societal pressure to conform to the implicit cultural ideal. The distress of unresolved past emotional injuries may also surface, which often results in the couple getting stuck in negative emotional cycles. This paper will discuss the case of Yoko and Frank, who were treated with an affect‐focused approach in which their emotional conflicts, particularly their feelings of shame, were worked through while each partner developed their self‐ and other‐emotion regulating capacity. The therapist also helped the couple develop new patterns of positive emotional interaction.
