Indication:

It is a small group therapeutic modality in nature, designed to help client by

promoting self-esteem, awareness and socialization. It is objective in nature and

used in an effort to reach the unwounded areas of the patient’s personality and

get them moving back into reality. It aims to bridge the fantasy world of the

psychotics to the real world.(National Remotivational Therapy Org.Inc.)

Sports, Hobbies and Nature and those that are not considered are; Religion,

Politics, Love, Sex and Family Problem. In this therapy the facilitator asks

questions which is related to the topic at hand. One question leads to another

which is referred to as bounce questions. The facilitator creates an environment

where the patients feel safe, in this environment the facilitator does not judge

whatever the patients say. Thereby a trusting relationship is established between

the patients and the facilitator this is done by following the five steps of the

therapy.

POEMS:

Tanman sa Ilalom sa Adlaw (Beth Padillo)

Ang mga dahon nagpaabot nga bisbisan

Sa silaw sa adlaw, human sa mga adlaw
Sa katugnaw og madagayaong ulan.

Mga bulak nga misugod sa pagbuklad

Nanggayo sa kainit sa adlaw aron matuman
Ang pagbuklad sa iyang mga gihay.

Ania usab ang hagawhaw sa kasingkasing

Nga unta ang adlaw sa langit mopakita
Sa iyang panagway aron sa pag dan-ag

Gubat (Moises Santiago)

Malawak na dibdib ng sangkalikasan may pusong maliblib ng kahiwagaan; 
Madawag sa tinik ng kasiphayuan;mababa, matarikang mga halaman;
May mahalumigmigna himig ng buhay. 

May sapa at batis na umaaliw-iw sa kristal na tubig ang buntong-hinaing;

Sarisaring tinig ng galak at lagim; may lamig at init ng dusa at aliw. 

vii
Anupa't kinapal  na napakalawak ang kahiwagaang hindi madalumat;
sa sangkatauhan ay guhit ng palad ng bawat nilalang ang nakakatulad;
Ganda't kapangitan ang buhay sa gubat.

Trees (Joyce Kilmer)

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

-After reading the poem to the patients, let one patient read the poem written on

the visual aid
