The purpose of this study is to explore the life which people with schizophrenia picture of and an expansion of their life. A qualitative approach was used to analyze the data from interviewing with three day care service users with schizophrenia. In the stage of before onset of disease, they experienced "the life they regard as normal", but their experience changed to "confusion on shifting life from the normal life" and "suffering with the changing life" during and before the onset. With a stabilization of their symptom, they experienced then their experience changed into "a realization of being healthy", "having people who respect their own existence value" and "independentaction." These changes of their experience led them to regain their own independence so that enabled them to "gain their newlife." The findings of this study could contribute the way of supporting an expansion of life for schizophrenic people living in the community.
