Yup, and the reason why they have the lowest rate of
mental illness in the world.
At an extensive training program at Boston State Hospital, attended as part of my job,
we were told the fact that they sit down as a family to eat and discuss their problems as a family,
re-veering the experience and advice of their elders, is their biggest reason for the lack of neurosis and psychosis.
That program was offered 20 years ago, wonder how much mental
disease has increased with their recent industrialization?
