Abstract

The present research aims at explaining the so-called well-affected support and ill-affected support provided in Clinical Dohsa-hou. The research targeted 60 people who have undergone Clinical Dohsa-hou sometime in the past. Their free descriptive answers were collected and processed by KJ method. The results allowed us to clearly distinguish the above two types of Dohsa-hou support as considered from the client’s standpoint. These include not only the support required for the completion of a certain task, but also the therapist’s general attitude, way of speaking, sense of distance, etc. Also, experiencing him/herself as a recipient very likely correlates with the well-affected or ill-affected support. In addition, ambiguous support, support that lacks congruence of the therapist-client experience, and acceptance and empathy-based support, too, appeared to be of high importance in Clinical Dousa-hou.
