Morita therapy is an effective psychotherapeutic method developed in Japan. This article describes its method, psychology, and demonstrates a convergence of its rationale with the philosophy of Zen. Morita therapy is a significant complement to those psychotherapies with fundamentally individualistic orientations, since it (like Zen) ideally enables patients to reach an empirical insight on the fundamental interrelatedness of man, and providing, concomitantly, a novel perspective on the nature of man and his place in the universe.
