This study aimed to clarify the features and problems of parents who receive family support for their children with Hikikomori. Both qualitative and quantitative research was conducted and reported in three parts. Study 1 describes a 5 step process in a grounded theory approach of changing the attitudes of parents, and utilizes interviews with 18 parents and 3 counselors: 'Parent's journey to find their own answers to the problems of their withdrawn children'. Study 2-I reports the development of an instrument for assessment of the difficulties of parents with children with Hikikomori, and confirms its validity and reliability via data from 176 parents. The scale consists of three sub-scales. Study 2-II describes the differences in parental difficulties, among mothers and fathers, using the newly developed scale, via data from 55 couples. Fathers receiving more services had significantly lower difficulties in marital cooperation; although, 60% of the fathers had received any family support, while almost all of the mothers have received some. In conclusion, this thesis highlights the necessity of fathers receiving more support, and makes some suggestions regarding improved clinical practice in family support.
