no evidence that people form a low SES background were given Naikan Therapy. So far Naikan therapy has been mainly focused in Japan, Germany and Australia, there is however a Naikan therapist in California.The interviewing skills that are necessary for Naikan therapy, rephrasing, recasting and the reflecting of client’s ideas. This means that good listening skills are needed as well.P.7I like this therapy because of the use of meditation. By tradition, the western culture is in a perpetual state of motion and learning the skill of meditation we can learn to slow down and concentrate. It also appeals to me because it teaches you to be more aware of the other people in your life and to pay attention to your environment. America is the home of the “I” philosophy…. I this and I that, etc. Naikan therapy forces us to focus on the others.There was no research supporting the effectiveness of the theory. Some information was available in Ramaswami’s article but it was unsubstantiated and not clearly described....
