Western psychiatry was adopted by Japan during the Meiji period, following the colonialist model of Western psychiatry and pushing out Kampo (traditional medicine). However, folk religions did not disappear. Western psychiatry functions by categorising certain conditions as "culture-bound syndromes." By reversing this categorisation, cultural psychiatry influenced by the New Left emerges. This is referred to here as "Religion 1."
Furthermore, Japanese psychiatry adopts various other intellectual trends, but it also contemplates whether it can treat a disease that is severed from its context—a kind of reverse religion that could be called "Religion 2" or "amnesiac religion."
