JAPANESE MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN HISTORICAL CONTEXT: WHY DID JAPAN BECOME A COUNTRY WITH SO MANY PSYCHIATRIC CARE BEDS?

However, Japan still has a very high ratio of psychiatric care beds per capita, and the average length of stay in psychiatric institutions is nearly 300 days.

The roles of psychiatric social workers, who promote the rehabilitation of people with mental disorders, is also presented in the conclusion
