• Personal Responsibility – Vs. Responsibility of family– Vs. Responsibility of psychiatrist
• Advocacy – Weak tradition of the human rights– Unspoken consensus-building process
• Negative connotation of “demanding”
Translation Challenges
• Wellness – 元気– Liveliness, spirit, vigorous health, good cheer
• Recovery – 回復 or リカバリー– Recovery, healing, comeback
• Toolbox – 役立つ工夫あれこれ集– Helpful, useful– Device, twist, ideas, initiatives– This and that – Collection
