Abstract
Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder characterized by positive, negative and cognitive symptoms that effect almost all aspects of mental activities including perception, attention, memory and also emotional. Schizophrenia is chronic and most patients will be disabled for the rest of their life. Schizophrenic patients will usually have a lower quality of life. At this moment clinicians feel that the decrease of symptoms through medication isn’t enough for the treatment of schizophrenia. Because of this, the standard for measuring success of therapy is through the quality of life. Studies have shown that a disturbance in social function will result in a decrease of quality of life. It is known that 80% of schizophrenic patients have a disturbance of social function. Because of that studies regarding social function and quality of life in schizophrenic patients is important.
