The integration of ideological and political courses into college student management has achieved positive results. This study explores the impact of applying motivation theory combined with positive psychology group therapy in English teaching on college students with schizophrenia.

The study selected schizophrenia students from a university as the research subjects and divided them into a control group and an experimental group. The control group received traditional college English teaching, while the experimental group applied motivation theory combined with positive psychology group therapy in college English teaching. The Schizophrenia Rating Scale was used for evaluation and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS22.0.

After a 6-month experiment, the score on the schizophrenia rating scale in the control group changed from 72 to 69 points, while the score in the experimental group changed from 75 to 58 points. In the experimental group, the symptoms of students with schizophrenia were significantly relieved (P<0.05). The experimental results show that combining motivation theory with positive psychology group therapy in college English teaching has a significant influence on college students with schizophrenia.

The application of motivation theory combined with positive psychology group therapy in college English teaching can effectively affect the symptoms of college students with schizophrenia, providing a potential treatment method. This research result provides reference and inspiration for the field of college English teaching and mental illness treatment.
