{{nihongo|'''Takeo Doi'''|土居 健郎|Doi Takeo|March 17, 1920 – July 5, 2009}} was a [[Japanese people|Japanese]] [[academic]], [[psychoanalyst]] and author.<ref>[http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20090707a5.html  "Psychoanalyst Doi dead at 89,"] ''Japan Times'' (''[[Kyodo]]''). July 7, 2009.</ref>

==Early life==
Doi was born in Tokyo, [[Japan]] in 1920.  He was a graduate of the [[University of Tokyo]].

==Career==
Doi was Professor Emeritus in the Department of Neuropsychiatry at the University of Tokyo and a medical adviser to [[St. Luke's International Hospital]] in Tokyo. He was also Director of the [[National Institute of Mental Health]] in Japan. He taught at the University of Tokyo (1971-1980) and at [[International Christian University]] (1980-1982). He wrote numerous books and articles both in Japanese and in English.

Doi was best known for his influential explanation of contemporary Japanese [[society]] in the work ''[[The Anatomy of Dependence]]'', published in 1971, which focused extensively on {{Transliteration|ja|[[amae]]}}—inner feelings and behaviors that show individual's innate desires to be understood and taken care of—as a psychoanalytical concept and theory. ''The Anatomy of Dependence'' was described by Harvard professor emeritus [[Ezra Vogel]] as "the first book by a Japanese trained in psychiatry to have an impact on Western psychiatric thinking."<ref>Kageyama, Yuri. [http://www.tributes.com/show/Takeo-Doi-86291819 "Takeo Doi, Scholar on Japanese Psyche, Dies,"] Associated Press. 6 July 2009.</ref> His work has been categorized as ''[[nihonjinron]]''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dale |first=Peter N. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UoaiQgAACAAJ |title=The Myth of Japanese Uniqueness |date=1988 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-415-05534-5 |language=en}}</ref>

In 1986, Doi published a further book, ''The Anatomy of Self'', that expanded on his previous analysis of the concept of {{Transliteration|ja|amae}} by a deeper examination of the distinctions between [[honne and tatemae|{{Transliteration|ja|honne}} and {{Transliteration|ja|tatemae}}]] (inner feelings and public display); {{Transliteration|ja|uchi}} (home) and {{Transliteration|ja|soto}} (outside); and {{Transliteration|ja|omote}} (front) and {{Transliteration|ja|ura}} (rear) and suggests that these constructs are important for understanding the Japanese psyche as well as Japanese society.<ref>[https://archive.today/20100524060244/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article6728138.ece  "Takeo Doi: Japanese Psychiatrist who Developed the Concept of Indulgent Dependency,"] ''The Times'' (London). July 27, 2009.</ref>

Doi died aged 89 in 2009.
