Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the community mental health services in the psychosocial rehabilitation of persons with consolidated mental illness after about deinstitutionalization.

The keywords used in this search were psychosocial rehabilitation, deinstitutionalisation, long-stay patients, community mental health services, social functioning, psychiatric reform and clinical and social outcomes. Finally 7 research studies were included.
Results: The community mental health services have played a key role in the improvement of people with consolidated mental illness after their deinstitutionalisation. Regardless that though, the research data regarding the degree of the effectiveness of such services are contradictory. In most cases a reduction of relapse and of the re-entering was noticed.
