“This video will be very helpful for people with anxiety disorder. It is useful to people who learn psychiatry as well. It is better than hundred of textbooks.”

Takeo Doi (psychiatrist / author of "The Anatomy of Dependence")

“Morita therapy is one of the few psychotherapies that originated in Japan and is known internationally. 
Although I'm not a Morita therapist, I believe that as long I'm Japanese, no matter what school of thought I belong to, I can learn something from the thought and techniques of Morita therapy.  
Japanese people live in such a way that religion is integrated into daily life, and this is strongly felt in this video.
Although "Buddhism" is not mentioned, the deep everydayness of Morita therapy is felt in the daily work of the therapy.
It is very difficult to explain or convey this through language, but this video seemed to be of great help in making this possible.
It will be a good teaching material for people who want to study psychotherapy at graduate school or elsewhere.”
Hayao Kawai (psychologist)
