For Interviews, Speakers
インタビュー・講演を希望の方へ
ここで紹介しているのは、HSPのインターナショナル・コンサルタント（ICHS：HSP国際相談員）のリストです。HSPに関することで専門家にインタビューしたい、もしくは講演者として招きたいと考えている方のために提供しています（エレイン・アーロンは応じられないことが多いため）。なお、“HS（高敏感性・高感受性＝HSP）の科学用語は感覚処理感受性（sensory processing sensitivity）といいます。感覚処理障害（Sensory Processing Disorder）とは関係がありませんので、ご注意ください。
言語と専門性：リストに載っている方たちは全員英語を話します。ただし、彼らの名前と資格の後に、英語以外の彼らが話す言語が（イタリック体で）載っている場合があります。これは、その言語文化や社会における敏感性について彼らが議論できることを意味しています。また、一人一人がそれぞれの専門性を持っていて（最も専門にしているものはイタリック体で強調している）、中にはその専門性について本を著している方もいます（こちらもイタリック体で示しています）。
バックグラウンド：このリストに載っている方たちは、あくまで高敏感性について話せる人たちの一部に過ぎません。ただし、彼らのほとんどはエレイン・アーロンとともに2018年のワークショップに参加しており、最新の研究や、関連するトピック（例：HSPの最も適切な定義、進化の過程や他の動物におけるHS、様々な病気や内向性・シャイネスとの関係）について一緒に議論しています。中にはアクティブ・リサーチャーの方（※）もいます。この情報はエレインによって更新され続けています。ですから彼らはみなさんにとって最高の情報源です。
注記：HS = highly sensitive and HSP = highly sensitive person.
※訳注：アクティブ・リサーチャーとは、様々な「現場」において実践を理解したり、実践を改善しようとする活動的な研究者のこと。
