Abstract
Schizophrenia impairs the development of psychosocial skills needed for the useful, independent living, social functioning, occupational skills, and self-care. While medication can reduce psychosis, drug side effects and compliance in patients with schizophrenia is a problem. Often with this population, it is necessary to integrate psychosocial treatments which aim to enhance interpersonal and social functioning. The focus of this paper is on a psychosocial intervention (group therapy) that introduced specific social skills to patients through the use of poetry. The intervention took place in a large state psychiatric facility.
