Classic Morita Therapy: Advancing Consciousness in Psychotherapy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the early 1900s, Japanese psychiatrist Shōma Morita, MD (1874-1938) developed a sequential approach to therapy that emerged from his theory of consciousness.[1] Outside psychoanalytic studies, Morita’s portrayal of consciousness in the field of psychological medicine remains incomparable.[2] In fact, Morita refined his therapeutic methods through extensive case study with as much rigour as his Euro-American contemporaries, including Sigmund Freud, Wilfred Bion, Melanie Klein, Wilhelm Reich, Jean Charcot, Jacob Levy Moreno, Carl Rogers, and Alfred Adler.
