     ‘Hazukashisa’ feeling is one of the peculiar feelings of Japanese and appears commonly in infancy. It means both ‘shame’ and ‘shyness’. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factor structure of ‘Hazukashisa’ feeling in infancy by means of Q-technique. Method: For Q-sort, a structured sample of 60 statements (each of which consists of three independent variables―inferiority, guilt and bashfulness) was prepared. Four Kindergarten teachers operated Q-sort on forty 5-year-old children. Result: By a centroid method of factor analysis we obtained ten factors, and five of them (acceptance of act, self defense, immaturity, sociability and embarrassment) could explain the cause of ‘Hazukashisa’ feeling in infancy well.

     I introduced family therapy into high school counseling four years ago, and especially against heavy cases such as school refusals, family violences etc, I have excuted home visits. It is very effective for school counseling to have family interviews at the living room of the client family, I attempted about more than 500 homevisits for these 4 years, and over 80 percent of those I have done by myself, and when I need some approaches of two-room (interview room and monitor room), I take the following means named the Substitute Two-room Mode, which are mainly for the purpose of escaping family resistance, counter transference, or intrafamilial transference.

    1. Hidden Co-therapists or Imagenary Co-therapists 2. A Substitute Monitor-Room 3. Intermission and Change the Course 4. Provisional Co-therapists (in part) 5. Personal or Subsystem Short-interviews.

     This paper describes an 18-year old female anorexia nervosa patient who weighed 25kg (body length 150 cm) when admitted. During the first four months, her weight decreased to 21.8 kg and she developed severe complication such as liver malfunction, despite concentrated efforts on the part of the physicians (including a psychiatrist) and the nurses to increase her body weight. The patient recovered remarkably after a counselor also began treating her. Counseling and a therapeutic approach by staff succeeded, so that her weight recovered to 45 kg. It seemed that the most vital factors effecting her recovery were as follows. ①Coordination of the medical staff to develop therapeutic attitudes in the staff who took different treatment roles. ②Counseling to integrate the splitting of her personality structure.

     This paper is to clarify a correlation between obsessive-compulsive neurosis and the family system. It is recognized that there is a skew in the structure of the family which contains a member with a mental disease and that the system of the family does transform the whole state of it, so as to take away the skew in it, with that the patient’s condition getting better or worse.

     In this case, a girl of thirteen showed various obsessive-compulsive conditions after she had receive many "arrows of control" from other family members consisting of her parents and brother. Then the family system went near breaking off for their discords, when parents made peace for a while, starting to depend on the outer help.

     Our interventions based on the flow of system change (feedback loops) and on the energy needs for system-changing. This attempt worked on her efficiently.
