Abstract
As for outpatient Morita therapy in my clinic to neurosis and psychosomatic disease, weight is given to diary instruction. In Morita Therapy, it is the most important point that the daily life attitude fulling of prepossession to symptoms is broken down by active and constructive life experience. However, in the outpatient, unlike inpatient, it is impossible to observe the daily life behavior directly. Diary can know the day-to-day behavior of patient and do practical and concrete instruction, it can play an important role in outpatient therapy. It’s also useful for relationship of mutual trust between patient and doctor. Diary instruction guidelines in my clinic are as follows. The mentioning contents assume the behavior and impression of the day in the main, and it is said that mentioning of symptom is minimum. Standard instruction period is held every two weeks for 12 times. As a principal, I do not answer the appeal to the symptoms (Fumon). On the other hand, I perform positive comments on the constructive movements and attitudes in view of the facts. I exhibited the instruction of the specific examples (Panic disorder, Functional dyspepsia with anxiety disorder).
