Outline of Final Research Achievements

Socially Withdrawn Youths have long been confronted with social difficulties. In addition, their sound developments are alienated because of complicated social exclusion. This study see them as not passive subjects but positive agents. Concretely, we set up new concept as “cooperative relationship” between practitioners, young people and local residents can grow up on even grounds. Developing a deeper understanding of the concept, we conduct experimental studies of advanced practices in Italy and Korea. In conclusion, we advance three points; 1 applying those practice philosophy in Japanese one; 2 analyzing recovery oriented approaches to get rid of invasive approaches; 3 marshalling three stages of practice methods (encounter, crisis intervention and liberation in some groups).
