Yamanashi Eiwa University Clinical Psychology Center hosted the 2026 Recurrent Education Seminar.

 

On Sunday, October 11th, we held the 2026 Recurrent Education Seminar. The purpose of this seminar is to provide training opportunities for local psychology professionals, including graduates of our university's graduate school, and to offer guidance on improving their qualities and skills as psychology professionals and providing solutions to challenges.

This year, we invited Professor Kazuhiko Nojima, Professor Emeritus of Kyushu University, to give a lecture and case study on the theme of "Clinical Psychology Practice Based on a Person-Centered Approach."

 

In the morning lecture, based on many years of clinical experience and his encounter with the late Carl Rogers, the speaker explained the nature and practice of the person-centered approach, which involves supporting clients and respecting their autonomy. In the following afternoon case study, Mr. Shinya Ishihara from the Hanamizuki Child and Family Support Center presented a case, and through discussions involving the participants, it became an opportunity to practically learn the theory of the person-centered approach.

On the day of the event, we were fortunate to have 56 participants, mainly graduate students from our university's graduate school and members of the Yamanashi Prefectural Association of Clinical Psychologists, as well as clinical psychologists and graduate students from Yamanashi Prefecture and neighboring prefectures. We received many comments, including the following:

 

  • Through the morning lecture and afternoon case study, I had a valuable opportunity to learn about the person-centered approach from both theoretical and practical perspectives. I intend to apply what I learned to my future clinical practice, connecting it with my graduate studies and experiences during my practical training. Thank you very much.
  • This was a time when I truly realized the importance of having autonomy as a clinical psychologist, the importance of waiting for both myself and the other person, and other important things that tend to be lost sight of in the daily work.
  • I was able to hear some very valuable information. I also learned a great deal from hearing about your career as a clinician so far.
  • This was a valuable opportunity to reflect on the history of clinical psychology, and to consider the present, future, and my own approach to clinical practice.

 

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all participants.

We will continue to contribute to the local community through our clinical psychology activities, so we appreciate your continued understanding and cooperation with the Yamanashi Eiwa University Clinical Psychology Center.
