The goal of Morita therapy is to have the patient accept life as it is[1] and places an emphasis on letting nature take its course.[2] Morita therapy views feeling emotions as part of the laws of nature.[2]
Morita therapy was originally developed to address shinkeishitsu,[3][4] an outdated term used in Japan to describe patients who have various types of anxiety.[5] Morita therapy was designed not to completely rid the patient of shinkeishitsu but to lessen the damaging effects.[6]
Morita therapy has been described as cognate to Albert Ellis's rational-emotive therapy.[6] It also has commonalities with existential and cognitive behavioral therapy.[7]
