- This 528-page book is rooted in a decade of research and covers the history of Japan from the 1850s to the present. Its focus on people who resisted state power entailed research in original Japanese primary sources relating to new religious movements and to mental health and illness. The author was the first to use the extensive archive of Kosawa Heisaku, which runs to thousands of pages of letters, diaries, clinical notes, and religious writings. In addition, more than 1000 secondary sources ranging across religion, psychiatry and psychotherapy, literature, art, history, music, and philosophy were consulted.
