Brief Summary

The body esteem influences the physical appearance, which can be a social brake. To enhance the socio-professional insertion of persons with severe mental disorders, the investigators developed a group program about self-presentation and body esteem. The study's objective is to understand the body esteem impact on socio-professional insertion, and how to improve that with a dedicated group program, for patients in a psychosocial rehabilitation center

Conditions

Keywords

severe mental disorders; body-esteem; body-representation; self-esteem; socio-professional insertion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  The main judgement criterion is the difference before/after the program for each of the two groups (IPS and TAU) of the weighted average at the "satisfaction with overall appearance" and "wish to change appearance" dimensions of the BES (Body-Esteem Scale), common dimensions for men and women. This difference will be compared between the 2 groups by a Student test (or a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test in case of non normality).
