The following is the brief report written by Professor Tadashi Nakamura. Violence and Interaction: To create a new theory of violence from the perspective of clinical sociology Nakamura Tadashi（Ritsumeikan University） My research interest is how the micro-sociological theory on abuse and family violence is important to resolve some difficulties in the interpretation of violence. In order to do so, scholars need to create a new theory on clinical practice by linking the study of masculinities with micro-sociology and the interaction theory. In other words, in clinical practice scholars need to make a distinction between the forensic system and the clinical theory because family violence is a multidisciplinary subject. The current studies in the field of family violence and abuse have a common presupposition based on the theory of power and control. I think this approach is not sufficient to understand family violence and abuse as a total phenomenon because they are complex behaviors. To create more comprehensive theory in human aggressiveness, micro (personality theory)-macro (gender perspective) link needs to be taken into consideration. My research on this project is the first step toward the solution of this linkage. With collaboration with some foreign research institutions, I am going to keep conducting my research from now on, too.
