ABSTRACT
Saturated with ephemeral and ready-made knowledge on how to treat the mind, Korean psychotherapy has effected a breakout today discovering a lead in the therapeutic precedents set in Korean history. It has gradually recovered its autochthonous character providing the same effectiveness today as it did in the old times. Archaeological knowledge has shown that Koreans had had their autonomous ways for curing the mind illnesses, without a concept and care for mental health as defined by Western knowledge.
