Classic Morita Therapy: Consciousness, Zen, Justice and Trauma
Autor Peg LeVineen Limba Engleză Hardback – aug 2017
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.

Recenzii
Those curious about the origins, theory, practice and current status of Morita Therapy will likely be highly rewarded by reading this book. The depth of the author's training and research in Japan is reflected in her authoritative account. Case material drawn from the author's Western World practice of Morita Therapy in its original, nature-focussed setting vividly evokes the issues of consciousness and authenticity. These characterise this Zen- and Psychoanalytically-influenced therapy, in deep contrast to cognitive/behavioural ones. Application to transcultural issues and torture-induced trauma, in which the author specialises, gives the book a commanding contemporary relevance.
