Abstract
We have achieved satisfactory treatment results by employing modified Morita therapy for outpatients after many processes of trial and error to seek treatments for oral psychosomatic disorder. In this study, we describe some therapeutic modifications in the treatment of oral psychosomatic disorder. For this condition, it is essential to combine different psychosocial therapies with somatic therapies and medical therapies using psychotropic drugs. These psychosocial therapies include Morita therapy, which was established as a treatment for one of the conditions called Morita Shinkeishitsu, i.e., oral neurosis. Modern oral psychosomatic disorder is similar to this condition. Morita therapy is undoubtedly beneficial for the treatment of this disorder. As we discussed in this study, we will improve the therapy for this purpose while using examples of various other treatment modalities based on our experiences, with suggesting the higher applicability of modified Morita therapy for outpatients of modern oral psychosomatic disorder.
