“…Similarly, neo-Confucianism holds that "knowledge becomes genuine knowledge by means of action" (Fujita 1986) (p. 39). Morita's focus on experience, and distrust of language and cognition, also conforms to Eastern viewpoints, epitomising Zen (Kapleau 2000;Kitanishi 1992;Murase and Johnson 1974;Watts 2012). Through directly experiencing bodily activities in relation to the environment, the (illusionary) dualism between self and the world is considered to fall away (LeVine 1998;Morita 1998;Nakamoto 2010;Reynolds 1976;Watts 1961).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Given that traditional insightoriented psychotherapies often use a n ambiguous, open-ended problem-solving process, Asian-American clients may perceive such therapies as inefficient and not relevant to their immediate concerns. Consistent with this difference, Murase and Johnson (1974) have observed that Eastern psychotherapies tend to center on social and objective rehabilitation (e.g., better work productivity). whereas Western therapies tend to emphasize personal and subjective restoration.…”

“…Other studies meeting MMAT criteria, coupled with significant improvements in distress, included a yoga intervention (Araújo, et al [ 88 ]) and a psychosocial intervention (Semple, et al [ 71 ]) but the sample sizes for both studies were very small. Han, et al [ 96 ] compared Naikan and Morita therapy [ 107 ] against usual care ( n = 130) and had a large effect size immediately post-treatment for improvements in distress amongst Chinese breast cancer patients. Naikan and Morita therapy has Japanese/Buddhist roots and requires absolute commitment from the patient who puts him/herself under the total direction of the therapist.…”
