Presidential Address

 

Dear friends and colleagues ! Good morning and welcome to the 10th Scientific Seminar of the East Asian Academy of Cultural Psychiatry. On the behalf of the academy, I’d like to thank you all for coming to Seoul and sharing the friendship and also professionalism.

Today, I want to share some of thoughts of mine and probably many of you had during the last decades. Let me put the first thing “The crisis of cultural psychiatry.”

We know, how important cultural psychiatry is in clinical practice and research. However, young psychiatrists and their teachers tend to neglect the cultural psychiatry these days. This is mainly due to domination of neurobiology and brain science in psychiatry and shift of psychiatric treatment from psychotherapy to pharmacotherapy. Decline of dynamic psychiatry and poor coverage of psychotherapy by insurance also played the role. Many psychiatric residents in training do not have chance to learn cultural psychiatry because their teachers do not teach. Dynamic psychiatry has been a minimal part of psychiatric training, however this does necessarily mean the culture is being taught. Thus, young psychiatrists focus only on the superficial symptoms according to the tailor-made Western criteria of diagnosis and prescribe some chemicals by what they call ‘practical guideline’. That’s all. They are blind to patients’ deeper and true mind. Not only they are not aware of patient inner psyche, but also misdiagnosis is not uncommon. These may raise concern for ethical issue.

Psychiatry today is “mindless, brain psychiatry”. Can you help your patients only with brain psychiatry?

Needless to say, the cultural psychiatry is a necessity in clinical setting for the following reasons. First, we are living under the mingled society with traditional, modern and intermingled cultures, so that we have to see patients from various cultural background from the tradition-soaked to the westernized in a given society, and that there are delicate mental health problems from rapid acculturation. Secondly, we are living in a multi-cultural society. Thus, we have to confront with cross-cultural practice due to increased cultural interchange and immigration, and societies becoming more and more multi-ethnic. Without cultural competence and culture-relevant approach, we can not practice successfully.

Dear colleagues! It is our duty to teach young psychiatrists and how to teach them is a very important issue for the future.

The second issue I would like to share an idea each other is to encourage transcultural research among our colleagues. Since the beginning of the Academy, there have had so many fruitful transcultural researches among our members: Japan,Taiwan, Korea and athe mainland of China, even other Asian countries. Our seminar is precious and important, but the more precious one is to carry out transcultural joint research. I wish, the academy would enjoy more wonderful transcultural research.

During the past two decades, we have intensively studied various topics in the field of cultural psychiatry and sincerely exchanges our knowledge. We have fully reviewed and examined cultural issues in various clinical entities among the East Asian countries. Now we are going to for the next step in this seminar.

The topic of the seminar is “History of Psychiatry in East Asia: The Past, the Present and the Future”. It is my understanding that this is to examine the past, to evaluate the present situation and to set up a successful strategy for the future of cultural psychiatry in the East Asia. I sincerely hope for many fruitful results from this meeting.

Today, we are also delighted to have two guest speakers from Shanghai, Prof. Liang Dong Zhang and Prof Ming Kang Lu. It has been our longstanding wish to join with cultural psychiatrists in the mainland China. I hope that this opportunity would be a starting point for their active participation. Thank you, , Prof Zhang and Prof Lu for coming to our seminar. I also thank to the other wonderful speakers of this seminar, Dr. Akio Sakai, Dr. Kei Nakamura, Dr. Wei-Tsuen Soong, Dr. Bou-Yong Rhi and to the formal discussants Dr. Hai-Gwo Hwu, Dr. Hwan-Il Chang, and Dr. Kenji Kitanishi.

Finally, I think we all heard about a recent terriblel earthquake and tempest in Japan. And Japanese in Japan. And Japanese colleagues are here with us today. Let me offer our condolence to the victims and their families.

Thank you.

Kwangiel Kim, M.D.

President
