This study was conducted to confirm whether the group behavioral activation program (GBAP) is effective to psychotic symptoms, depression, subjective well-being. A total of 35 enrolled schizophrenic patients from a community mental health center in G-province participated in the study. The experimental group was divided into A and B groups for the effect of group treatment, and PANSS, CES-D, SWN-K were measured by pre-post tests. A total of 10 sessions were conducted weekly for 10 weeks, and it was conducted in group-focused program. A covariance analysis (ANCOVA) was performed to verify the effectiveness of the program in detail with the pre-score as covariates, and some paired t-tests were performed to compare pre-post scores. The results showed that the GBAP showed significant improvement in the psychotic symptoms and sub-scales such as positive symptoms, negative symptoms, general psychopathology. Based on these results, this study introduced the GBAP as an evidence-based psycho-social intervention program that can be effectively utilized in the community.
