Wen-Ji Wang and I have organised an issue in History of Psychiatry in 2022, issue 3. The subject is a rising new topic of East Asia’s history of psychiatry. Three papers on China, three on Japan, one on Taiwan, one on Hong Kong, and one on Korea. The next stage might be the interactions between these countries and areas in the context of global psychiatry and local patients.
