Mental health services in Japan are currently changing ‘from negative to positive’ with some new aspects of shared decision making (SDM), tojisha-kenkyu (self-directed study), open dialogue (OD), and salutography.
This spring, I and my colleague Yayoi Imamura published a book, “Guidebook to Salutography”, and proposed a positive way of seeing people with some mental health tasks from the viewpoint of salutogenesis.
In this book, we conducted Manga salutographies and described the new concept of “saying-but resilience” in the salutography of “Blue Period”, a manga in which the protagonist Yatora Yaguchi wants to attend Tokyo University of the Arts (TUA), but is struggling with his rivals.
Preparing a case vignette of a female student, I will show the negative and positive meanings of her psychosomatic reactions by comparing the following two considerations: 1) from the medical standpoint and 2) from the salutogenic standpoint with the polyvagal theory and the “saying-but resilience” concept.
