| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of trauma writing on the improvement of mental and physical health and cognitive functioning from the cognitive and behavioral perspective based on somatic psychology and brain science. First, it was suggested that directing attention to the physical sensation was not influenced by thought (distancing) and that the stimulus itself could be evaluated. Second, it was suggested that mindfulness training including directing attention to the physical sensation was contribute to health promotion through decentering, and significantly reduced post-traumatic stress reactions. Finally, although trauma writing that focuses on physical sensation significantly reduced the degree of subjective distress caused by trauma, it did not show significant improvement on the other indicators including the sympathetic nervous system, and therefore further study on theory and procedures is necessary.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
身体感覚に注意を向ける手続きを含むマインドフルネス訓練が心身の健康を増進させることは実証されているが，その訓練期間は2か月以上を要し，簡便な方法の開発が望まれる。そこで，その身体感覚に注意を向ける手続きが，トラウマ筆記という短期（3日間）介入に導入しうることを実証した点に学術的成果が認められる。他方，社会的意義は，この簡便な技法の効果を実証した点である。身体感覚に注意を向ける手続きを導入した筆記によって，トラウマによる主観的苦痛度を有意に低減させることを実証した。トラウマに関する介入技法の多くは12セッション以上を要する長期にわたるものであり，簡便な技法を開発した社会的意義は大きいと言える。
