Tokyo, Japan — In May, 2007, The Hans Selye Foundation launched its first formalized international affiliate relationship, The Tokyo-Selye Center (TSC). The TSC has offered us a “demonstration model” opportunity to evaluate the viability of such relationships. Building on our Institute and Foundation’s work, the Tokyo-Selye Center has continued to:
- Conduct applied research concerning workplace change and stress in Japan
- Train and certify professionals in appropriate brief counseling methods
- Certify professionals for, and directly provide workplace diagnostic, training, coaching and consulting services
The Center is headed by Professor Takashi Sato, an extensively experienced industrial psychologist who has been trained by and worked closely with the Canadian Institute of Stress since 1996. You are invited to visit the Tokyo-Selye Center’s Japanese language homepage at http://www.sipe-selye.co.jp . Japanese-to-English translation is available from a Google search.
Three years’ collaborative evaluation of the TSC experiment have clearly demonstrated effectiveness in the transfer and cross-cultural integration of the knowledge, instruments and methods developed by Dr. Selye’s Canadian Institute of Stress.
