The authors assert that some of the most regressed, treatment‐resistant clients with persistent mental illness will show a favorable response to a group approach called remotivation therapy. The remotivation therapy techniques of the 1950s have been updated by psychiatric nurses and a social work clinician in one VA setting. The authors assert that remotivation therapy approaches are easy to implement, personally rewarding, and effective in promoting interaction in such clients.
