Summary/Abstract: In the last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has become part of people’s lives, including those diagnosed with schizophrenia. Many have also exacerbated negative symptoms of the disease such as anxiety, increased hallucinations, and depressive symptoms. To overcome the illness, the wishes of the patients were investigated. Subsequently, starting from the personalism philosophy point of view, for a little group of the Day Care Service, a program (that has integrated pedagogical interventions, educational groups, psycho-educational interventions, social skills training and telephone support) has been created to decrease the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and improve the psychophysical well-being of each patient. This research shows that it is possible to introduce a clinical-pedagogy perspective for the care of schizophrenia patients and to mitigate the negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
