| Core Tip |
Motivational difficulties in psychiatry often reflect how motivation is organized over time rather than the specific content of beliefs or emotions. The generative arc offers a developmentally informed, transdiagnostic heuristic that may help clinicians and researchers think more clearly about rigidity, volatility, and treatment resistance without proposing new diagnoses or mechanisms. |
