Shoma Morita
Japanese psychologist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Masatake Morita (森田 正馬, Morita Masatake, 1874–1938), also read as Shōma Morita, was the founder of Morita therapy, a branch of clinical psychology strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism.[1] In his capacity as the head of psychiatry for a large Tokyo hospital, Morita began developing his methods while working with sufferers of shinkeishitsu, or anxiety disorders with a hypochondriac base.
