Objective:
To characterize participants’ clinical situation based on the following variables: social performance, socially useful activities, personal and social relationships, disturbing and aggressive behavior, assertiveness, and early signs of aggression; and To assess the effectiveness of an intervention program for training social skills and reducing predictors of violence.
Methodology:
Pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 15 patients admitted to forensic psychiatric wards.
Results:
The intervention proved effective, with statistically significant changes in personal relationships, disturbing and aggressive behaviors, and early signs of aggression.
Conclusion:
Training social skills and self-control improved participants’ clinical indicators and psychosocial rehabilitation and contributed to better (re)integrating them into their families and communities.
