Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an integrated protocol based on cognitive behavioural therapy, positive psychology and third generation therapies is effective in improve the subjective well-being of people affected by a severe mental illness (SMI).
The design of the study is a cluster randomized control trial with two arms. Experimental groups will receive 15 sessions to enhance positive emotions, optimism, adaptive coping, finding a purpose in life and sharing it with people who are important to the user. The control group will remain on a waitlist with their treatment as usual (TAU). After the control period (15 weeks), participants of the experimental groups have the chance to receive the intervention. Both groups will be measure before and after de 15 intervention weeks. Additionally, follow-up measures of the experimental group will be taken after 3 and 6 months.

Detailed Description:
This research aims to generate evidence on the usefulness of interventions focused on the well-being of people diagnosed with SMI, trying to alleviate some of the limitations found in previous protocols.
Regarding the content of the sessions, optimism, low levels of depression, social support and the degree of agreement with the therapist, have recently been identified as the factors that best predict subjective well-being in people affected by SMI. Therefore, modules on optimism and coping focused on well-being will be included, maintaining the emphasis of the work on positive emotions. By adding an individual work session in which goals and objectives are agreed upon by the therapist and user, the consensus will be strengthened between both parties. After discussing the construction of a life project throughout the protocol, the process the process will conclude with a session combined users and the special persons chosen by the participants. Both members will have the opportunity to share with each other.
Finally, we will follow the indications of recent studies which demonstrate that, in order to improve the optimistic response in psychiatric populations, it is necessary to reformulate negative thinking, practice hopeful thinking, practice gratitude and build a life project.
