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.

Famous quotes containing the word stages:
“The playing adult steps sideward into another reality; the playing child advances forward to new stages of mastery....Child’s play is the infantile form of the human ability to deal with experience by creating model situations and to master reality by experiment and planning.”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
