Increased Verbal Interaction via Group Techniques with Regressed Schizophrenics

Abstract

Verbal interaction on the tenth 50-min. session of remotivation therapy for 8 hospitalized male chronic schizophrenics ( Mage = 57.87) increased significantly over the level for 8 comparable schizophrenic patients who served as controls. Increased verbal interaction appeared on both a structured and an unstructured task. Although individual differences were marked, the efficacy of remotivation therapy with chronic schizophrenics is suggested.
