The aim of this a quasi-experimental study is to test the changes in the Quality of Life of chronic mental disorders (schizophrenia) treated with psychodrama. Total sample consisted of 60 subjects, aged 21-38. From these, 30 subjects were in the experimental group, while 30 subjects were in the control group. All subjects were previously psychologically tested, as well as basic demographic data has been taken. The instrument we used was Life Quality Scale in Schizophrenia (21 items form).
