What is Constructive Living?
Constructive Living is a Western approach to mental health education based
in large part on adaptations of two Japanese psychotherapies, Morita therapy
and Naikan therapy.  Constructive Living (CL) presents an educational method
of approaching life realistically and thoughtfully.  The action aspect of
Constructive Living emphasizes accepting reality (including feelings),
focusing on purposes, and doing what needs doing.  The appreciation aspect
of Constructive Living enables us to understand the present and past more
clearly and to live in recognition of the support we receive from the world.


David K. Reynolds is recognized as the leading Western authority on Japanese
psychotherapies.  He is a former faculty
member of the UCLA School of Public Health, the USC School of Medicine, and
the University of Houston.  His books have
been published by university presses (California, Chicago, Hawaii, and New
York) and popular presses in the U.S., Japan, 
China, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere.  In 1988 the World Health
Organization sent Dr. Reynolds to China to train   
psychiatrists there in Constructive Living.  He currently lectures and
conducts workshops around the Pacific,  including approximately three months
in spring and three months in fall in Japan lecturing and consulting in
Japanese. He is the only Westerner to receive the Kora Prize and the Morita
Prize by the Morita Therapy Association of Japan.

We hope to see you there,
Angelique :-)
