    Director Yamasaki and Researcher Matsumoto were the presenters.
 
 

The symposium was conducted with the title, “Preventive Education in Japan: What We Incorporated or Changed.” There was a lively discussion on the day of the symposium. We received many questions even after the session, indicating a high level of interest in education at our center.
  This symposium involved planning and presentations by Japanese people only. It is probably the first symposium of this type for APA. In addition, this symposium was important because the ideas of the symposium originated and were developed in Japan.
