ffective interpersonal problem-solving skills have been identified as essential aspects for successful functioning in daily

life. Patients with schizophrenia suffer significant psychosocial skills deficits which pervade all stages of illness. The ability

to resolve interpersonal problems is a key aspect of the social functioning of adjustment, it is a skill in which many patients

are deficient. However, a poor social competence is thought to be associated with less adequate behavior and vulnerability to

relapse. If those patients learn interpersonal problem–solving skills from a systematic method and successfully apply them

in their daily life, then the beliefs about self- competence in handling regarding interpersonal problems will develop and

improve their adjustment and self-esteem. This study aimed to determine the impact of the designed intervention program on

interpersonal problem-solving skills and self-esteem of schizophrenic patients.
