Self-sufficiency involves the ability to make observations, to focus upon the relevant information and discard the irrelevant, to weigh evidence, to make decisions, and to put those decisions into action. This research project posed the question if through a process of directed care using short-term educational and experiential groups where cognitive-behavioral lessons and techniques were taught, could self-sufficiency be improved, enabling those with schizophrenia to live more productive and independent lives. The measure of the effectiveness of the intervention was determined by using a phenomenological methodology where the research participants were interviewed to determine their experiences of the groups. The effectiveness of the content of the groups as well as the effectiveness of the group process was determined by the research participants' experience in the groups and whether they believe this would help them to live more self-sufficient lives.

520 $a Self-sufficiency involves the ability to make observations, to focus upon the relevant information and discard the irrelevant, to weigh evidence, to make decisions, and to put those decisions into action. This research project posed the question if through a process of directed care using short-term educational and experiential groups where cognitive-behavioral lessons and techniques were taught, could self-sufficiency be improved, enabling those with schizophrenia to live more productive and independent lives. The measure of the effectiveness of the intervention was determined by using a phenomenological methodology where the research participants were interviewed to determine their experiences of the groups. The effectiveness of the content of the groups as well as the effectiveness of the group process was determined by the research participants' experience in the groups and whether they believe this would help them to live more self-sufficient lives.
520 $a Groups were composed of an average of ten people diagnosed with schizophrenia. The participants attended groups for approximately twelve weeks and were both male and female with an age range of 26--50. The research participants were selected randomly with no consideration given to the severity or duration of their illness. Pre and Post-test interviews were conducted where each participant was interviewed. A structured interview approach was utilized where each participant was asked the same set of questions.
520 $a The outcome of the research project showed that participants in the study experienced minimal helpfulness from their participation in the groups but did learn better ways to address certain life situations that occur when living self-sufficient and independent lives. The most significant area of helpfulness was in the area of assertiveness where subjects reported being able to be more appropriately assertive and to be able to "say no" in an expression of their assertiveness. This seemed to help improve self-esteem and to enable the participants feel in more control of their lives.{09}The group experience had no impact on improving deficits related to schizophrenia, and most of the participants found the content of the groups particularly difficult due to memory difficulties.
