Psychic energy - the activator of the low energy patient.
The article presents a description of a theoretical basis for how psychic energy can be harnessed to activate the low energy patient to physical performance which otherwise would be unobtainable. It shows how this vitalizer varies with each individual and how it varies over time for one individual. A longitudinal case study, in log form, illustrates the progression of change in one patient at various levels of diminished physical energy and performance. For the occupational therapist treating patients with difficult restorable clinical symptoms and/or poor prognosis, psychic energy and its potentials is seen as a useful tool.
