    Abstract

    Studies that combine symptom research with research on quality of life and identity are growing in number, because of its interest in the development and dissemination of therapeutic methods that go beyond symptom removal. This cuasi-experiment study is based from the constructivista vision of the impact of a program of psychosocial intervention group on the subjective quality of life, the constructs system of self and the symptomatic state in people diagnosed as paranoide schizophrenic (n = 15) in comparison with a control group (n = 15). The instruments were administered before the beginning of the psychosocial intervention, to the 12 months of the beginning of the same one and to the 24 months. The results indicated that the group treatment improved significantly in the construct system of self, in the subjective quality of life and the symptomatic state after 12 months of the beginning of the intervention and this improvement stayed after 24 months of the beginning of the same one. In the comparison with the control group the statistical meaning of improvement was not so evident.
