Shoma: The Life of the Pioneering Eastern Psychiatrist and Founder of Morita Therapy

This book is the English Edition of Mari Iwata's original Japanese language book, MORITA SHOMA GA KATARU MORITA RYOHO. To constrain Morita Therapy to a mingling of Dr. Shoma Morita's ideas from basic texts distorts its essence. Proficiency is through studying Dr. Morita himself, as he authenticated his therapeutic design. Hence, the intention of this book is not to specifically render Dr. Morita's biography but elucidate the inextricable bond between therapist and therapy. Respect for the character and brilliance of Morita Therapy's originator lends toward preserving the therapy's integrity and conveying its significance.
