Prof. Naohiko Mimura, who taught me Gendlin's philosophy

As well as Donata Schoeller, Naohiko Mimura is one of the keynote lecturers in the following Conference Program:

Keynote Lecture. Naohiko Mimura: Gendlin and New Phenomenology: Application to Rehabilitation Medicine

Program | Conference of the Nordic Society for Phenomenology Sensory Methodologies

He was my supervisor when I was enrolled in the M.A. program at the Department of Philosophy.

His original specialty was and is the theory of the body as developed in Husserl's posthumous manuscripts, such as "Ideas II." Since 2009, however, he has been writing continuously about Gendlin's philosophy. He has also written about Arakawa & Gins, mentioned in "Saying what we mean," as one of the administrators of their posthumous manuscripts and how they interacted with Gendlin. He has recently applied Gendlin's philosophy to the neurocognitive rehabilitation proposed by Carlo Perfetti.
