This time, I have tried to produce concrete evidence of the healing side of the tea-ceremony. A group of young women, all participants in a workshop aimed at helping young mother bring up their children, took part in a series of 10 sessions over a period of one year. After each session the participants gave their impressions and understanding of the tea-ceremony. All members showed considerable interest in the ceremony, and it made them able to sense anew the changes in the seasons. They noted that the tea-ceremony was an experience quite apart from their regular daily life and that it allowed them to return to the upbringing of their children in a more positive and relaxed mood. The tea-ceremony thus can be considered to have some effect as a healing process, and can be thought of as form of psychotherapy.}, pages = {57--65}, title = {グループワーク「茶湯」における一考察}, year = {2003}, yomi = {トモヒサ, シゲコ} }
