Objective: This study investigated the feasibility and outcomes of the illness management and recovery program in Japan. Methods: Thirty-five patients with schizophrenia were recruited. Participants were assigned (not randomly) to the intervention and wait-list comparison groups. Symptom severity, functioning, activation level in self-management, quality of life, satisfaction, self-efficacy in community living, and satisfaction with services were measured before and after the intervention. Results: Over two years 25 patients completed the intervention (some after being wait-listed). In the pre-post comparison, they showed significant improvement in symptoms and functioning, self-reported activation in self-management, quality of life, satisfaction, and self-efficacy in community living. Compared with the ten participants in a wait-list comparison group, the eight participants in the first intervention group showed an increased quality of life in social functioning, satisfaction in living, and self-efficacy for social relationships in community living. Conclusions: Findings suggest that the program is effective for participants with severe mental illness in Japan. (Psychiatric Services 61:1157-1161, 2010)
