To qualify for participation in this research, a patient must:
1. Follow a treatment at Scelta, GGNet
2. Have been approved to participate by his responsible therapist
3. Be able to complete this intervention during the treatment at Scelta ;Explanation:
Inclusion criterion 2: The main responsible therapist decides in consultation with the patient whether it is appropriate to participate in the module. The main responsible therapist makes use of the following screening criteria:
- There is no contraindication present, such as serious instability or being in an acute crisis (GAF score not lower than 50) or the presence of psychosis or acute suicidality. This criterion implies that a participant must be mentally competent to participate.
- A patient must be able to look at the past with some distance, as shown by at least one contribution during the treatment program in a psychotherapy session.
- A patient must be able to look forward to recovery, as demonstrated by at least one contribution during the treatment program in the social reintegration part ;There is no inclusion criterion for therapists. It concerns practitioners who work at Scelta.
The exclusion criteria for participation in this study are:
- low IQ (lower than 80)
- not able to participate in a group form
- antisocial personality disorder
- insufficient command of the Dutch language
These criteria were already screened during admission for treatment at Scelta. For taking part in 'Een Sterk Verhaal' they will be checked again by the main responsible therapist, who assesses whether the module seems feasible and is suitable for the patient.;In addition to the standard exclusion criteria, additional exclusion criteria have been added for this study:
- presence of contraindication (such as severe instability or being in an acute crisis (GAF score lower than 50) or the presence of psychosis or acute suicidality, implying no mental competence) ;There is no exclusion criterion for therapists. It concerns practitioners who work at Scelta.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary outcome measure is the feasibility of the intervention as reported<br /><br>by participants (patients and practitioners) and by an observer present at the<br /><br>sessions. This is done on the basis of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire<br /><br>(CSQ, Larsen, Attkisson, Hargreaves, & Nguyen, 1979; Dutch translation: De<br /><br>Brey, 1983), which is administered to the practitioners after each session, the<br /><br>Helpful Aspects of Therapy form (HAT; Llewelyn et al., 1988; Eliott, 2012),<br /><br>which is administered to the patients after each session, the observations of<br /><br>adherence and treatment integ- rity at each session and the evaluation of the<br /><br>entire intervention afterwards (CSQ for both practitioners and patients).</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>A second outcome measure is the change in recovery based on the Mental Health<br /><br>Recovery Measure (MHRM, van Nieuwenhuizen et al., 2013, Young & Bullock, 2005).<br /><br><br /><br>A third outcome measure is the therapy course based on shared stories during<br /><br>the sessions and a qualitative analysis of the end product.</p><br>
