Abstract

Abstract “Whisper of the Heart” is an animated film produced by Studio Ghibli and distributed by Toho. This study aimed to examine the growth of the protagonist,Shizuku, a junior high school student, and how the people around her supported her, from a psychoclinical perspective. Adolescence is a period of significant change from childhood to adulthood. Adolescents tend to be insecure, confused between the ideal and reality , and are unable to directly consult adults regarding their struggles as they enter a period of rebellion. How can we get involved with these adolescents? In the film, although Shizuku dreamt of writing a story, she was unsure of her talent and sometimes felt depressed in the face of limitations. I believe that the psychoclinical understanding of how people around the distressed Shizuku treated her will help support such adolescents.
