Proposal for Support Program in Self-help Hikikomori "Parents Group"

本研究透过访谈23位母亲与7位父亲加入“隐生家长群”，并以问卷调查方式取得320位隐生家长的回答。 结果发现，父母对待子女的方式发生变化的转折点，是在他们从根据自己的价值观对待子女转向尊重子女观点的阶段。 当父母达到这个阶段时，父母和孩子的心理负担可能会减轻，因此这个转折点被定为支持计划的目标。 该项目以力量方法为基础，通过研究、讨论和回顾隐藏青年，并使用临床行为疗法，产生了诸如重新树立自尊、解脱感和相互理解的结果。

The data was collected through interviews for 23 mothers and seven fathers joining hikikomori parents' group, and also 320 hikikomori parents' reply obtained by question paper investigation was analyzed. As a result, it was found that the turning point at which parents' way of treating their children changes, is at the stage where they move from dealing with the children on the basis of their own sense of values to respecting the children's point of view. When parents reach this stage, the psychological burden on both parents and children is likely to be reduced, and for this reason this turning point was made the goal of the support program. The program was based on the strength approach, and studying, discussing and looking back over hikikomori, and using clinical behavioral therapy, produced results such as renewed self-esteem, a sense of relief, and mutual understanding.
