“…In China meta‐analyses have been published for the treatment of schizophrenia and adult depression by MT in 2020 and 2018 (Feng et al, 2020 ; Jia et al, 2018 ; Li & He, 2008 ). Although their method was epidemiologically relevant, their paper only collected cases from China (Feng et al, 2020 ; Jia et al, 2018 ; Li & He, 2008 ). Furthermore, their version of MT was based on structured, action‐centered classic MT.…”

“…Furthermore, their version of MT was based on structured, action‐centered classic MT. As the authors stated in their paper, generalizing their results globally would be problematic (Feng et al, 2020 ; Jia et al, 2018 ; Li & He, 2008 ). In the United Kingdom, a pilot randomized control trial for depression using MT has been begun (Sugg et al, 2017 ; Sugg et al, 2018 ; Sugg et al, 2019 ; Sugg et al, 2020 ).…”

“…In the 21st century, many works in English have been published on MT (LeVine, 2020 ; Mashima, 1992 ). Its effectiveness has been widely assessed from a clinical epidemiological view (Feng et al, 2020 ; Jia et al, 2018 ; Li & He, 2008 ; Sugg et al, 2017 ; Sugg et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Although classic inpatient MT had declined, various types of modified inpatient MT, which was based on refined MT theory, emerged. There was an emphasis on discipline and action (Feng et al, 2020 ; Jia et al, 2018 ; Li & He, 2008 ; Sugg et al, 2017 ; Sugg et al, 2018 ), relief and rest in a familial environment (LeVine, 2017 ; LeVine, 2020 ), and the patient–therapist relationship in a general psychiatric ward (Mashima, 1992 ; Ogawa, 2013 ; Tateno, 2016 ). The Japanese Society for MT established a training system in 1998, replacing the apprenticeship system (Reynolds, 1976 ).…”

We review the history of Morita therapy (MT), which has existed for over 100 years, and examine what has changed over that period and what has not. Classic MT, which was dependent on a highly strict therapeutic approach, gradually lost its pre‐eminence, but at the same time, the fundamental theory of MT was refined. This theory came to be applied to current outpatient MT and adapted to inpatient MT. As MT was refined, a standard training system for therapists was established, adaptations to modern conditions were made and expanded, and comparisons to and dialogs with other psychotherapeutic concepts such as mindfulness became possible. To better evaluate MT, further work should be conducted on its effectiveness of from a clinical epidemiological perspective.
