The body esteem influences the physical appearance, which can be a social brake. To enhance the socio-professional insertion of persons with severe mental disorders, the investigators developed a group program about self-presentation and body esteem. The study's objective is to understand the body esteem impact on socio-professional insertion, and how to improve that with a dedicated group program, for patients in a psychosocial rehabilitation center
Our hypothesis is that a group program centered on the image and the presentation of the self, with the intervention of professionals of the image of the body, such as socio-hairdresser, socio-beautician, allows a better socio-professional inclusion, through an improvement in body self-esteem. Taking care of yourself will require different approaches such as advice on hygiene, becoming aware of your body, experimenting with beauty treatments and having the means to reproduce them at home. We will compare our IPS program (Image and Presentation of Self), with the usual management in the care center (TAU = "Treatment As Usual")

Appreciation of one's own appearance
The main judgement criterion is the difference before/after the program for each of the two groups (IPS and TAU) of the weighted average at the "satisfaction with overall appearance" and "wish to change appearance" dimensions of the BES (Body-Esteem Scale), common dimensions for men and women. This difference will be compared between the 2 groups by a Student test (or a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test in case of non normality).
