在日本，少数民族的临床工作是一个相对较新且发展迅速的领域。20世纪70年代移民的涌入要求精神科医生与不同文化的患者合作，但很少有人在这方面有经验或受过培训。随着更激进的人口变化迫在眉睫，与不同文化背景的人合作的技能正成为一种迫切需要。虽然日本的精神病学长期以来一直关注文化，但直到最近才涉及到日本人之间的差异。新移民和来自传统少数民族背景的个人的心理治疗涉及文化适应和身份认同问题。基于建构主义叙事治疗理论取向的临床方法可以有效地应用于多元文化的情况。一个案例中，这种方法是用来帮助韩裔日本青年处理身份斗争。
Clinical work with minorities in Japan is a relatively new and rapidly growing field. An influx of migrants from the 1970s has required psychiatrists to work with culturally different patients, yet few are experienced or trained in this area. With an even more radical population change imminent, skills in working with people of diverse cultural backgrounds are becoming a pressing need. While psychiatry in Japan has long been concerned with culture, only very recently has this concern involved differences among Japanese. Psychotherapy with both new migrants and individuals from more traditional minority backgrounds involves issues of acculturation and identity. A clinical approach based on a theoretical orientation of constructivistic narrative therapy can be usefully applied to multicultural situations. A case is presented in which this approach is employed in assisting a Korean-Japanese youth to deal with identity struggles.
