Results: There were significant differences between case and control groups of total patients, in mean scores difference of pretest and post test in social skills (P<0.001) and self esteem (P=0.005). There were significant differences between type I and type II experimental groups in the mean scores of social skills pretest (P=0.003) & post test (P<0.001) and their difference (P=0.009). Also there were significant differences between them in the mean scores of self-esteem pretest (P=0.005) and post test (P<0.001) and their difference (p=0.035). Difference of pretest and post test scores of social skills (P<0.001) and self steem (P<0.001) showed significant difference between experimental and control group of type I schizophrenic patients. Also there were these differences between experimental and control group of type II schizophrenic patients (P=0.01 & 0.03).
