Schizophrenia is a complex chronic mental illness that is characterized by positive, negative and cognitive symptoms without racial or socioeconomic prejudice. It affects approximately one percent of the population worldwide and is a leading cause for disability and premature mortality in developed countries. The objective of the study was to assess the level of primary mental function among schizophrenics, to evaluate the effectiveness of art therapy on primary mental function among schizophrenics in experimental group and to associate the post test level of primary mental function among schizophrenics with their selected demographic variables. The conceptual frame work used for the study was based on J.W Kenny’s open system theory (1999). A quasi experimental pre test post test design with the control group design was used in this study and 40 samples selected by using non probability purposive sampling technique in Kongunadu Mananala Arakkattalai Psychiatric centre, Coimbatore. Art therapy was given for experimental group. Data was collected before and after intervention by using Standardized Mini Mental State Examination tool. The study findings showed that the obtained ‘t’ value was 6.95*. It was significant at p<0.005 level. It shows that art therapy was effective in improving primary mental function among schizophrenics.
