Message from the Head of Center
Head of Center Professor Takuro Motonaga
I always have troubles in my life. Sometimes there is a great deal of suffering that I cannot handle on my own. There are times when I can't help but talk about my little anxiety. We listen carefully to the voice of your heart. Depending on your worries, you may not be able to express it well. Even at such times, we will share our time slowly. Incorporate play, create a garden, and draw pictures to listen to the unspeakable screams of the heart. The deeper your worries, the longer it will take to heal. Sometimes you may be overwhelmed by despair and get stuck. Even in such a case, we will find hope and wait for the moment when our hearts relax and support us. We have prepared a counseling room and a play room so that you can spend a relaxing time. It is an atmosphere where blue is the keynote and the heart rests. Please use freely.
History of establishment
Mental care continues to evolve with the times. In 2001, Teikyo Graduate School Teikyo University Mental Health Center was established at the same time as the launch of Division of Clinical Psychology (Master's Degree Program) in the Graduate Graduate School of Liberal Arts. A major impetus for the establishment of this center was the model placement of school counselors in public junior high schools, which began in 1995. With an increase in students gaining first-hand experience in clinical psychology and a sudden rise in interest in it as a career and academic field, revisions were made to the qualification screening regulations. In recent years, communication skills have become increasingly important in schools and workplaces, and the need for mental support is growing without limit, as people who are unable to communicate socially with others are not accepted by society. At this center, we aim to provide a multifaceted counseling approach under the guidance of specialized staff from various fields, including psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, and community psychology. The aim of the school is to provide education and research into the theory, techniques and practice of clinical psychology, and it provides an important training environment for those aiming to obtain qualification as a clinical psychologist.
Main activities
It is expected that the field of clinical psychology will become more and more active in society in the future. At this center, we are working to foster mental specialists who can respond to a wide range of needs and contribute to the local community by cooperating with the hospital attached to the Faculty of School of Medicine, community medicine and facilities for the elderly. Experts are actively involved with the outside world to open up new possibilities for clinical psychology.
