Pathography in Japan: Exploring the relationship between creativity and the psyche
Abstract
Pathography is a medical anthropological approach that examines the relationship between creation and psychiatric disorders through psychopathological and psychoanalytical lenses using case studies. Since it was first defined in the mid‐1960s, pathography in Japan has kept pace with current advances in psychopathological research. However, to date, the findings of pathographic research in Japan have not been published in English.

More on psychobiography is available on this website at Broadening the Parameters of the Psychobiography and Utilizing Psychobiography to Moderate Symptoms of SAD.

presentation of a series of occasions through the documentation of events and the explication of the causes, motivations, and consequences thereof. In the fashion of
Whitehead, occasions are dynamic and ongoing activities unfolding or producing
themselves through time. The creative events that precipitate―originating, anchoring, and turning points―are fixed in time as opposed to the unfixed spatial-temporal reality of an occasion.
