Religiosity and psychological well-being of older women in Hong Kong.
The purpose of this study was to examine the religious belief of the elderly women in Hong Kong and how their life satisfaction and depressive symptoms were related to various dimensions of religiosity. Data based on a community sample of older women (N = 180, mean age = 74.2 years) indicated that majority of them (56.7%) reported beliefs in folk religion and ancestor worship. The Catholics and Buddhists appeared to enjoy a better mental health status than did the Protestants, which seemed to be mediated by better family supports and physical health condition. Objective measure of attendance at religious activities was not related to psychological well-being. In contrast, subjective feelings that religious faith was a source of strength and comfort, and that it would help in times of difficulty were significantly associated with psychological well-being.

[From the point of view of a Naikan counselor].
I will portrait of my clinical experience in hospitals with Naikan therapy in this short paper. At the first hospital, I mainly took care of alcoholics. I initially tried to introduce intensive Naikan, the original form of the method, into the therapeutic program of alcoholics. Encountering some stumbling blocks, however, I ended up using daily Naikan journals but not intensive Naikan form. At the second hospital I worked for, I was able to have the private room for the sole use of Naikan therapy thanks to the director's consideration. Using intensive Naikan this time, I first worked with alcoholics and their families, and then I also worked with neurotics and psychosomatics. In April 2000, I finally started to devote myself entirely to working as a Naikan therapist at a Naikan center, established by the founder of Naikan, Ishin Yoshimoto. This is a revision of my address at the 12th WPA symposium in Yokohama held in August 2002.

Loving kindness: the essential Buddhist contribution to primary care.
Loving kindness (metta), a traditional Buddhist concept, implies acting with compassion toward all sentient beings, with an awareness and appreciation of the natural world. The giving of metta, an integral part of Buddhist medicine, has the potential to enhance modern primary health care. Metta must be given with selflessness (saydana), compassion (karuna), and sympathetic joy (mudita). For the believer, Gautama Siddhartha, the Buddha, is the Supreme Healer. His ancient but timeless message of metta is alive and well today, The Dalai Lama being it key proponent. The Buddhist system features several techniques, such as the Noble Eight-Fold-Path and the metta meditations, to keep physicians moving toward metta. One does not have to be a Buddhist to practice metta, or more humane medicine, and the notion of "tender loving care" is spreading in biomedical circles.
Medicine and religion: spiritual dimension of health care.
The author probes into the origin of medicine and illuminates how religion took an essential part in the birth of ancient medicine in both East and West. In the modern age, medicine as science continues to attain a high level of progress. Yet simultaneously, medicine interacts with the spiritual and religious realm of the human mind. The hospice movement, started by Cecily Saunders in 1967, strongly encouraged this tendency, and now spiritual care is acquiring much importance in global medicine.
Regulation of assisted reproductive technology: a case study of Japan.

A necessarily brief description of the cultural context of religious belief, the family and reproduction in Japan is followed by a description of the development of ART in Japan together with an analysis of its provision and control.

Recovery and identification of the victims of the Ehime Maru/USS Greeneville collision at sea.
This paper describes the recovery and identification of crew members lost during a collision at sea. On 9 February 2001, south of Honolulu, Hawaii, the Japanese fishing training boat, Ehime Maru was struck by the USS Greeneville (SSN 772), a Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine. Witnesses estimate that the vessel sank within 5-10 min after the collision. Nine of the 35 crew members remained unaccounted for after rescue procedures were completed. The U.S. Navy attempted the unprecedented procedure of moving the boat from a depth of 610 m (2000 ft) into shallower waters so that the missing could be located and recovered. Eight of the nine crew members were recovered and identified by their dental records.
