Part3：Understanding Key Concepts of Morita Therapy – Morita therapy & its treatment
The theme of the Mental Health & Morita Therapy Seminar Vol.2 is “Morita therapy & its treatment. ”The lecturer is Dr. Kei Nakamura (Honorary Director, Center for Morita Therapy, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo).
The content of the third session is” Understanding Key Concepts of Morita Therapy.”
The seminar introduces key concepts of Morita Therapy, starting with Seishin Kogo Sayo (vicious cycle of attention and sensation) and Shisou no Mujun (contradiction in thought), both seen as main causes of neurosis and anxiety.
It then explains core principles: Arugamama (Shizen fukujyu, obedience to nature), the Guiding Principles of Emotion, and Plunge into Fear. By understanding that emotions naturally arise and fade, patients learn to act without resisting feelings, helping them overcome symptoms.
Finally, it highlights the desire for life—a natural drive to live better. By expressing this desire constructively in daily life, Morita Therapy guides patients toward recovery and a more fulfilling life.
