A recent article by Mark McDonald in the International Herald Tribune titled “Stressed and Depressed, Koreans Avoid Therapy” offered a glimpse at the taboo that is psychotherapy in Korea. It begins:
“SEOUL — It can sometimes feel as if South Korea, overworked, overstressed and ever anxious, is on the verge of a national nervous breakdown, with a rising divorce rate, students who feel suffocated by academic pressures, a suicide rate among the highest in the world and a macho corporate culture that still encourages blackout drinking sessions after work.”
3WM hopes that these issues will be discussed more and welcomes any contributors who’d like to lend their voice or experience to this issue. Confidentiality is guaranteed if requested. Contact 3wmseoul@gmail.com
