Summary

This study tests a narrative therapy program designed to help people with schizophrenia reduce self-stigma. Twenty-four participants from halfway houses in northern Taiwan will attend four group and four individual sessions over eight weeks, using storytelling and workbook exercises. Researchers will analyze questionnaires and recordings to see if the program improves self-stigma, depression, social functioning, and well-being.
