The Sentencing of Asahara
The sentencing of Matsumoto Chizuo (Asahara Shoko) to death on February 27, 2004 marked nearly nine years since members of Aum Shinrikyo carried out an attack with sarin gas on subway lines in Tokyo on March 20, 1995. Asked to write an opinion piece for the Japanese edition of Newsweek that appeared two days before the sentencing, I chose to focus on how the notions of victims and victimizers have structured efforts to understand and come to term…
The Blessing of Living in a Country Where There Are Senryū
Following the sarin gas attack on Tokyo's subways in March of 1995, considerable effort has been devoted to explaining the rise of Aum Shinrikyō and its turn to violence. The A. aims to provide a contribution to efforts to understand how Aum has been perceived and interpreted in Japan by focusing on one aspect of the reaction to Aum that has received almost no attention either within or without Japan: the humor, joking, parody, and satire that fo…

Assessment for the Stronger, Healthier Psychological Bond in Child-Custody Evaluations
Evaluators conducting assessments in the context of child-custody disputes often speak about the psychological bonding between each of the parents and the child(ren). An attempt is usually made to assess for the strength of such bonding and compare one parent with the other. Most would agree that this is an important element in such evaluations, so much so that the failure to give it consideration weakens considerably the value of the assessment.…

This article reviews the value of guidelines in child custody evaluations and proposes a set of 20 guidelines to be utilized by evaluators and the courts. Each guideline is discussed with relevant criteria identified
Differentiating between parental alienation syndrome and bona fide abuse-neglect
In recent years, with increasing familiarity and recognition of parental alienation syndrome (PAS), 1 parent has accused the other parent of inducing PAS in the children. In response, the responding parent accuses the other parent of abusing and neglecting the children. In short, the children's alienation is considered by 1 parent to be the result of PAS indoctrinations and the other to be the result of bona fide abuse-neglect. The purpose of thi…
Lost in the Cosmos and the Need to Know
H r rUNDREDS of special reports, programs, and documentaries about Aum Shinrikyo have been produced for and aired on television in Japan since the 20 March 1995 sarin gas attack on Tokyo subway lines. A is the first independently produced documentary on Aum and the first to be shown in movie theaters. Filmed with the cooperation of a number of members of the group between March 1996 and April 1997, A documents life inside Aum by focusing on the d…
Recommendations for Dealing with Parents who Induce a Parental Alienation Syndrome in their Children
The parental alienation syndrome is commonly seen in highly contested child-custody disputes. The author has dcscribed three types: mild, moderate, and severe-each of which requires special approaches by both legal and mental health professionals. The purpose of this article is to correct some misinterpretations of the author's recommendations as well as to add some recently developed refinements. Particular focus is given to the transitional-sit…
The Embedment-in-the-Brain-Circuitry Phenomenon
An Instrument for Objectively Comparing Parental Disciplinary Capacity in Child-Custody Disputes
When conducting a child-custody evaluation, examiners are basically asked to ascertain who would be the preferable parent with whom the child should live primarily, the mother or the father. With rare exception, one is not dealing with one parent who is "all good" and another parent who is "all bad." Rather, competent evaluators assess each parent's assets and liabilities and then compare the two in order to ascertain which one would be better fo…

The Protocol of the Gods
The Protocol of the Gods is a pioneering study of the history of relations between Japanese native institutions (Shinto shrines) and imported Buddhist institutions (Buddhist temples). Using the Kasuga Shinto shrine and the Kofukuji Buddhist temple, one of the oldest and largest of the shrine-temple complexes, Allan Grapard characterizes what he calls the combinatory character of pre-modern Japanese religiosity. He argues that Shintoism and Buddhi…

Social, Legal, and Therapeutic Changes that Should Lessen the Traumatic Effects of Divorce on Children
Easing the plight of the divorcing and the divorced requires the efforts of a broad range of professional disciplines. It is not my purpose here to cover in detail the various ways in which different professionals can contribute to this goal. Rather, I will focus on certain specific changes which, if implemented, could prevent and/or lessen some of the psychological traumas attendant to divorce. Some of these changes are already being instituted …
