Morita's Four Stages
Morita therapy was developed to deal with what Dr. Morita defined as Shinkeishitsu - “anxiety-based disorders” involving a high degree of perfectionism.
Morita offered a four-stage process of therapy involving:
- Isolation and rest
- Occupational therapy (light)
- Occupational therapy (heavy)
- Complex activities.
Morita therapy may be seen as a form of re-socialisation, involving a social influence process.
