抄録

Today, the way people think and act is deeply influenced by psychological knowledge and discourses of heart. People are greatly concerned about their state of heart and mind. They are forced to be careful about its conditions or maintenance, and also prudent not to hurt other people's feeling. In these circumstances, heart is treated as thesacred.　The hypothesis of 'the crisis of the heart' also began to be produced under these conditions. That is a fear of the devastation of morality. They then came to enforce a moral education with group therapy. The idea of the 'crisis of the heart' ties morality with psychotherapeutics. However, Durkheim, clarified the true nature of morality as "I'esprit de disipline, I'attachement mix groupes, I'autonomie de la volonte". On the other hand, according to Bellah, the psychotherapeutics values the inner psychic goods of the client and recommends freeing himself from moral, norms, social roles and so on. Morality and psychotherapeutics are fundamentally heterogeneous, but both are combined in 'lessons of heart'. How were they tied up? Were the forms of morality thereby transformed?　First, I examine how the rhetoric and conceptual operations of the 'crisis of the heart' tied morality into psychotherapeutics. Next, surveying the 'lessons of heart' in Japanese elementary school, I prove the followings: concerning morality tied into psychotherapeutics, the most important morality in modern society; "culte de la personne" transforms into emotion management. Self-introspection with virtue turns into self-inspection with a psychological test. The shaping of self now is not self-cultivation or self-building but behavior modification with psychological techniques and social skills training. The 'heart' as sacred symbol in the discourses of 'crisis of the heart' is profaned by the psychological operation.
