Intervention
The peer support group involved 16 sessions of 1 ½ hours. The waiting-list control group received treatment as usual (TAU). The trial took place over 8 months. The groups – with approximately 10 patients - were minimal guided by a nurse. Nurses were trained in the methodology which was especially developed for people with schizophrenia. The nurse was present at the start from the start and did offer structure, but did not interfere with the group process.
