Interesting study with colleague from Finland- Hannu Savolainen. A language and cultrunal
adaptation of a Japanese wellness program into Finnish- sort of a “East-West” overlap with
cognitive behavioral therpy principles, emotional awarneess and self-regulation thrown in
as well. Linguistic translation- cultural adaption into Finnish- and then additional
modifications. The “master sword” is kind of funny metaphor (or it could be I just like
swords) but is one component of cognitive behavioral therapy- that of slow or gradual
exposure to, and then mastery of aversive/demanding/unpleasent activities/tasks…but in
baby steps.
Cultural adaptation, content, and protocol of a feasibility study of school-based “Let’s
learn about emotions” intervention for Finnish primary school children.
