Progress in Transplantation (2002)

Shiho Suzuki Yoshiaki Kita Isao Fukunishi Katsuyo Kotani Ikan Yamada

This case study reviews the experience of a Thai family who traveled to Japan for living-related liver transplantation. The recipient experienced multiple problems after transplantation, which placed additional stress on the family. The cultural gap and language barrier resulted in a lack of understanding and often made it difficult for the medical team and family to communicate effectively. However, the use of interpreters helped to resolve these problems. This study shows that it is especially important for transplant coordinators and social workers to facilitate the collaboration and understanding between families and the medical team when cultural and language differences exist.

Association of Emotional Intelligence with Alexithymic Characteristics

Psychological Reports (2001)

Isao Fukunishi Thomas N. Wise Michael J. Sheridan Satoshi Shimai Keiko Otake

We examined the association of emotional intelligence and alexithymic characteristics as the personality trait in cohorts of 267 college students and 398 psychiatric outpatients. Score on the Toronto Alexithymia Scale were significantly correlated with those on the Emotional Intelligence Scale, suggesting that alexithymic characteristics are related to lower emotional intelligence. In conclusion, these data suggest that emotional intelligence overlaps with alexithymia.

Validity and Reliability of the Japanese Version of the Emotional Intelligence Scale among College Students and Psychiatric Outpatients

Psychological Reports (2001)

Isao Fukunishi Thomas N. Wise Michael J. Sheridan Satoshi Shimai Keiko Otake

We examined the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the Emotional Intelligence Scale in two samples of 267 college students and 398 psychiatric outpatients. Suitable validity and reliability of this scale were suggested by high correlations with scores on the NEO Personality Inventory, adequate internal consistency, and relatively high test-retest correlations. The Emotional Intelligence Scale seems suitable for both clinically distressed populations as well as comparative groups such as college students.

Somatoform pain disorder in a case of Klinefelter's syndrome with multiply operated lower back

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences (1995)

Michiko Akimoto Isao Fukunishi MAYO SAKATA Makoto Sato Yuichi Saito

Abstract We report a case of Klinefelter's syndrome with multiply operated low back (MOB). Psychological and/or psychosocial problems related to MOB have been of recent interest in the field of orthopedic surgery. Based on psychiatric interviews, this case was diagnosed as a somatoform pain disorder of the DSM‐III‐R somatoform disorders. In addition to psychological problems, the pain was partly explicable by severe osteoporosis, which was prematurely caused by endocrinological disturbances associated with Klinefelter's syndrome. Patients with this syndrome are more likely to develop severe osteoporosis. In the presenile period of Klinefelter's syndrome with severe osteoporosis, liaison psychiatrists may pay attention to somatoform disorders (e.g. somatoform pain disorder and conversion disorder) linked with the MO.

Association of Alexithymic Characteristics and Posttraumatic Stress Responses following Medical Treatment for Children with Refractory Hematological Diseases

Psychological Reports (2001)

Isao Fukunishi Naotsugu Hirabayashi Toshihisa Tsuruta Nozomu Asukai

Recent research has examined posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following medical treatment for children with refractory hematological diseases such as leukemia. However, much remains unknown. This study examined the association of alexithymic characteristics on the manifestation of posttraumatic stress responses in 33 children with refractory hematological diseases. Of 33 children, 27 (81.8%) exhibited posttraumatic stress responses following medical treatment for refractory hematological diseases. The frequency of posttraumatic stress responses was significantly higher than with children who experienced severe flood disaster. Also, the severity of posttraumatic stress responses was significantly stronger than for children who experienced severe flood disaster. Moreover, children with refractory hematological diseases were more likely to exhibit alexithymic characteristics. The alexithymic characteristics were significantly and positively correlated with avoidance and emotional numbing among posttraumatic stress responses. The results suggest the possibility that alexithymic characteristics may be predictive of the manifestation of avoidance and emotional numbing among posttraumatic stress responses following medical treatment for refractory hematological diseases.
