Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to submit an outreach model for Hikikomori youths through a multiple faceted evaluation of this principal investigators' home visit practices executed mainly by clinical psychologists. Examining the processes to have the youths connected to supporting institutes, it was indicated that "place making support" rather than "employment support" should be considered as the first choice when they had "not going to school" experiences. Further more, interviewing with those youths showed that accompanying support to such institutes and limiting the number of home visits facilitated them to move forward. Finally, focus-group interviews with the clinical psychologists showed a favorable evaluation of the program along with further challenges of it.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ひきこもりの若者への支援プログラムの評価を、支援を受けたひきこもりの若者側と支援を行った臨床心理士側という双方の視点から行ったことが評価できると考える。特に、ひきこもりの状態から外部支援機関に繋げる方略として、支援者が訪問を行って同行支援を実施したことや、支援回数を制限したことが、本人の動き出すきっかけづくりとなったことは、今後、不登校を含めてひきこもりの支援を考える際に援用できる具体案を提示したと考える。さらに、支援者の側からの評価を加え、今後のさらなる改正モデルを提示して、家族支援の重要性など、訪問支援における留意点を挙げた。
