Abstract

The integration of ACT and DBT techniques shows promise in enhancing the clinical feasibility and patient completion rate of the absolute bed rest period in Morita therapy. It achieves this by adapting to the psychological characteristics and socio-cultural realities of Chinese patients while preserving core therapeutic mechanisms, such as facilitating 'sudden insight' and awakening life energy. Future directions include the development of a structured operational manual and validation of its efficacy through randomised controlled trials, thereby promoting the deeper integration and application of Morita therapy in contemporary mental health practice.
