Shoma (Masatake) Morita, M.D. (1874-1938) was a Japanese
psychiatrist-professor who developed a unique four stage therapy
process. He challenged psychoanalysts who sanctioned an unconscious
or unconsciousness (collective or otherwise) that resides inside
the mind. Significantly, he advanced a phenomenal connection
between existentialism, Zen, Nature and the therapeutic role of
serendipity. Morita is a forerunner of eco-psychology and he
equalised the strength between human-to-human attachment and
human-to-Nature bonds. This book chronicles Morita's theory of
"peripheral consciousness", his paradoxical method, his design of a
natural therapeutic setting, and his progressive-four stage
therapy. It explores how this therapy can be beneficial for clients
outside of Japan using, for the first time, non-Japanese case
studies. The author's personal material about training in Japan and
subsequent practice of Morita's ecological and phenomenological
therapy in Australia and the United States enhance this book.
LeVine's coining of "cruelty-based trauma" generates a rich
discussion on the need for therapy inclusive of ecological
settings. As a medical anthropologist, clinical psychologist and
genocide scholar, LeVine shows how the four progressive stages are
essential to the classic method and the key importance of the first
"rest" stage in outcomes for clients who have been embossed by
trauma. Since cognitive science took hold in the 1970s, complex
consciousness theories have lost footing in psychology and medical
science. This book reinstates "consciousness" as the dynamic core
of Morita therapy. The case material illustrates the use of Morita
therapy for clients struggling with the aftermath of trauma and how
to live creatively and responsively inside the uncertainty of
existence. The never before published archival biographic notes and
photos of psychoanalyst Karen Horney, Fritz Perls, Eric Fromm and
other renowned scholars who took an interest in Morita in the 1950s
and 60s provide a dense historical backdrop.
