Abstract

This study aimed to preliminarily explore the psychological transformation effected by a newly developed intervention program for facilitating benefit finding among individuals with chronic mental illness in Japan. An intervention study with three weekly group sessions was implemented, and qualitative data on the participants' experience of benefit finding were obtained by a questionnaire survey and analyzed using content analysis technique. Of the 31 participants, 23 responded that they realized some sort of benefit finding through the intervention. The program component in question may contribute to enhanced benefit finding for people with chronic mental illness while longitudinal studies involving more participants are desirable.
