 note = {Currently, “hikikomori” (social withdrawal) is becoming a more serious problem in Japan, and the importance of early family support has been noted. One aim of this paper was to assemble domestic and international studies that have examined family support in relation to hikikomori. Another aim was to identify important aspects of that support. Yet another aim was to identify issues that need to be studied further in the future. First, a survey of research on hikikomori revealed that it was broadly conducted from a psychiatric, psychological, family, or socio-environmental perspective. Next, the literature was searched for articles using the keywords “hikikomori (or “social withdrawal”)” and “family (or parent)” in the title, and applicable articles were those dealing with the characteristics of families dealing with hikikomori, support for families with a socially withdrawn family member, and the process of family transformation while facing the problem of hikikomori. A review of those studies revealed several points. First, the characteristics of families dealing with hikikomori were common across several studies and there were some generally consistent trends, though they were, on the whole, limited to surveys of actual conditions. Second, the importance of family support was emphasized since family support was found to have a certain level effectiveness regardless of whether the provider of support is an individual (counseling or home visits) or a group (a self-help group or psychoeducation program). Third, in the early stages of hikikomori, parents were very confused and anxious, precluding them from responding appropriately. When, however, the parents were able to link up with support organizations, this triggered a change in the situation and it signified that the problem of hikikomori was in the process of being resolved. In the future, the vicious cycle of prolonged hikikomori that is occurring in the home needs to be described in further detail, and how families with a socially withdrawn family member can link up with third-party providers of support needs to be examined. In addition, systematic support in accordance with the stages of the hikikomori process should also be examined. The current study has suggested the need for further research on hikikomori and psychotherapy practices to address it.},
