In order to evaluate resilience parts of the Questionnaire RSA were used The description of the clinical state was used with the help of the PANSS scales. Results. The PANSS scores ( M=3.25 range 1.87–6.81), were below the middle of their potential range. Negative symptoms, depression and disorganisation appraisal were the most prominent in those tested. Significant positive correlations were found between PANSS scores (total, dysphoria and disorganization) and two RSA sub-scales (perception of self and personal strength). Conclusions.
