Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we try to develop social therapeutic methodology, that is methods for community building through group work by talking with and playing with others. For exploring this methodology, 1) surveying needs for community building building through qualitative interviewing methods, 2) analyzing community organization cases and team creativity developing instances, and based on these two informations, 3) proposing a mock model of social therapeutics which seems resonating with Japanese cultural and social formational conditions. In particular, we propose a social therapeutic methodology for young poor people in Tokyo, who are exposed severe economical gaps and shortage of social capitals.
