Features: Professor Masao Morita founded Morita Therapy in the early 1920s and passed away in 1938. During his lifetime, he dedicated himself to repeatedly refining and theorizing the psychiatric therapy he had created. Morita Therapy was originally applied only to patients diagnosed with Morita neurosis, a subtype of neurosis, but today it is used not just for neurosis but also for depression, schizophrenia, alcohol dependence, and more. New Morita Therapy has emerged, accompanied by new theoretical frameworks. This book concisely introduces the life of Masao Morita, the prototype of Morita Therapy as established by him, and the New Morita Therapy.
