Abstract:
|
This project was written through the equal contributions of both researchers Zachary Knapp and Jeff Parrish on all five chapters. The researchers noticed that when working with individuals with schizophrenia, positive outcomes are most often defined in terms of symptom reduction. The prominence awarded to treating pathology makes increasing subjective well-being seem either unimportant or unfeasible for this population. The present study aims to address this issue by creating a group designed to enhance subjective well-being for people labeled with schizophrenia. Six modules were developed by the researchers and evaluated by 13 mental health clinicians. The clinician-participants provided valuable quantitative and qualitative data about the components of the group, which will be used in finalizing the curriculum. While some participants advised minor changes, the modules were found to be effective for this population. |
