This may be due to the restructuring of spiritual value orientations. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the existential-personal rehabilitation of 237 patients with manifestation of schizophrenia there were studied indicators of vital meanings and values using psychodiagnostic tool «Meaning-of-life orientations» (D.A. Leontyev, 2000). Methods and results. There was founded that patients with schizophrenia who have undergone rehabilitation, showed a significant increase (p<0,05) in meaningfulness of life level over the next two years after the manifestation of the disease, that was higher (p<0,05) than in patients treated with only pharmacotherapy. Conclusion. This suggests that the existential-personal rehabilitation is effective for the formation of goals, values and meanings, which improves the quality of patient's life and contributes to the prevention of suicidal behavior.
