This is the first English translation of a controversial Japanese best seller that made the public aware of the social problem of hikikomori , or "withdrawal"--a phenomenon estimated to involve approximately one million Japanese adolescents and young adults. Drawing on his own clinical experience with hikikomori patients, Saito Tamaki creates a working definition of social withdrawal and explains its development.
