“What kind of annoyance did you receive?”―Is this fourth question necessary?

Abstract

  Yoshimoto Ishin created "NAIKAN" by changing the "MISHIRABE". He moved the emphasis on a sense of guilt from a feeling of transient and empty . In this process, a method to question three items "What have you received?", "What did you do in return?" and "What are the annoyances you made?" was established. The fourth question” What kind of annoyance did you receive?” is not adopted. Because of disturbing the acquisition of the sense guilt. But Yoshimoto Ishin mentioned the cases of child abuse “Punching, Confinement, Binding” as the example of the received annoyances and it unnecessary to listen to it in "NAIKAN". Such treatment attitudes are not currently permitted. If "NAIKAN" therapy trainee does not correctly learn how to deal with the fourth question” What kind of annoyance did you receive?”, there is the danger of losing sensitivity to pain that suffers from damage of the annoyances.
