Objective: Although the use of complementary and altative medicine (CAM) by the general population has been surveyed previously, the provision of CAM by Japanese physicians in private clinics has not been studied. Universal health insurance system was established in Japan in 1961, and most CAMs are not on the drug tariff. We aimed to clarify the current status of CAM provided by physicians at private clinics in Japan. Methods: We conducted an intet survey on 400 directors/physicians of private clinics nationwide on the provision of CAM from February 6 to February 10, 2017. Survey items included attributes of subjects, presence/absence of sections or facilities for provision of CAM, proportions of health insurance coverage for medical practices, and source of information. Private clinic was defined as a clinic run by one physi-cian, with less than 20 beds. Results: Commonly provided CAMs were Kampo (traditional Japanese herbal) medicines (34.8%) and sup-plements/health foods (19.3%). CAMs on the drug tariff were provided in 46.5% of cases at the clinics, but only 16.5% of cases were provided CAMs which were not on the drug tariff, at different neighboring facil-ities. Among different specialties, Kampo medicines were prescribed at obstetrics/gynecology (54.0%), orthopedics (44.4%), and dermatology (43.0%). Clinics not providing any CAM accounted for 53.5%. With regard to health insurance coverage, 96.8% of the clinics provided only or mainly health services on the universal national health insurance tariff (29.8% and 67.0%, respectively). Conclusion: Kampo medicines represent the most commonly used CAM in private clinics in Japan, and universal national health insurance coverage is considered to be the reason for the high rate of their use.

如今不少声讯台或报刊上常有一些“心理测验”,什么“你适合找什么样的女友?”“你的性格内向还是外向?”“你是否具备不断晋升的条件?”等等,五花八门。  心理学家认为,随着时代的发展变化,人们生活中的变化因素越来越多,而准确地认识和把握自己的能力则相对减弱了。于是,人们会自觉或不自觉地求助于“外力”来认识自己,希望自己在生活中能及时做出正确的决定,因此就更容易相信,甚至依赖这些“心理测验”了。  其实
