Abstract
Prof. Uchiyama wrote 182 books. The contents reflect the Zeitgeist of when they were published. From 1970 to 1980, he published almost 150 books. These books contributed to an increase in public awareness about cognitive behavior therapy in Japan. His books and other published works included 154 coauthors. Among them, Sakano was the most frequent coauthor, but Prof. Uchiyama also coauthored publications with 504 other scholars. It is speculated that Prof. Uchiyama intended to disseminate cognitive behavior therapy in Japan by inviting colleagues to coauthor his books; this tradition was passed on to subsequent generations. Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, virtually all of Prof. Uchiyama's books are now out of print. The present article examines Prof. Uchiyama's contributions in comparison with other prominent authors in the field of cognitive behavior therapy.
