Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by changes in perception, thought, affect, and behavior. Individuals with schizophrenia often experience symptoms such as hallucinations, making it difficult for them to distinguish between reality and imagination. They frequently hear voices originating from their own thoughts. Treatment for this condition can involve medication or therapy. One therapeutic approach used to manage the symptoms of schizophrenia is psychospiritual therapy, which helps individuals understand and respond to their inner self and express it through behaviors aligned with religious values. Forms of psychospiritual therapy include practices such as ablution (wudhu), recitation of the Qur'an, ruqyah, and dhikr. At the An-Nur H. Supono Foundation, therapy is implemented through reading Iqro and the Qur'an on Mondays, reciting sholawat on Tuesdays, studying fiqh on Wednesdays, conducting ruqyah on Thursdays, and delivering khitobah on Fridays. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of psychospiritual therapy in improving the mental calmness of schizophrenia patients at the An-Nur H. Supono Foundation. A qualitative method was used, with data collected through observation and interviews with a counselor treating schizophrenia patients. The results indicate that after one week of therapy, two out of three patients no longer experienced delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized thinking as before, demonstrating improved psychological calmness. These findings suggest that psychospiritual therapy can serve as a viable approach in the treatment of schizophrenia
