M0RITA THERAPY:
ACTI0N
CAN BRING ALONG
BEHAVIORAL CHANGES
Morita Therapy was founded
in
Japan in 1919 by Shoma Morita. lt has
universality and uniqueness and
new
trameworks for understanding it
are
being provided when
the
Morila
Therapy
is
applied,
not
just
to
Japanese
or
other Eastern cultures,
e.9.,
Chinese,
Korea,
lndia and lndonesia
but also
Western ones,
e.9.,
Germany,
Switzerland,
USA,
as practiced
in
the
Sansei Hospital. The characteristics of
the
Morita Therapy
is
that
it avoids the
conceptualization
of
sell-consciousness
and self image as a subjective fiction
established by abstract
and
logical
thinking. Moreover, Morita
Therapy
helps
the
patient to deal
with
activities
in
real life.
Such approaches help
patients not
to
worry about symptom
development of
lixation
mechanisms
but breakthrough
self
-centeredness.
During the bed rest period
of therapy,
patients experience
their
psychic state
as
if
they were
newly
born
babies
-
a
behavior
coming
out not from
conscious,
abstract and logical thinking
but
from
spontaneous
pre-conscious
state
of
mind,
called "pure-mind"
by
Morita, who
believed
that
neurotic symptoms came
from those abstract and logical think-
ing
that would lead to
lixation
of symp-
toms
so
that therapy principles
may
well
be the de-centralization of self and the
pure mind experience that
is
found
in
our daily
lite
and also
in
the
daily
life
of
even foreign people from
various
cultures.
