Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2014, vol.34, n.122, pp.249-266. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0211-57352014000200002.

Introduction: Theoretical background in recovery confronts the kraepelian concept of psychosis. Considering this condition as reversible involves looking for more efficient therapies for some of the dimensions. Objectives: Description of the process to start a group with people with psychosis under the recovery paradigm in a public health team. Confirmation of the efficacy of group intervention and treated symptoms. Analysis of effect of long-term group intervention. Patients: This work is based on a recovery group therapy experience in a community mental health team from a public health service in Spain. 28 subjects were diagnosed of disorders included in ICD-10: F20-25, F31, F60.0 and F60.1 related to psychosis. Method: The study describes structure and contents of the group and clinical assessment trough PANSS and GAF scales. Results: Negative and social symptoms remarkably improved in a progressive way trough the two years course. Discussion: These facts are considered especially worthy given their traditionally resistant condition to an isolated pharmacological assessment. Future lines of study are drawn. Difficulties in generalization of results in real framework are discussed. We are considering new measurement tools including subjective and qualitative instruments.
