The impact of community resettlement on the quality of life of people with long term psychiatric disorders, is evaluated in a longitudinal study. A repeated measures design was used to examine the sensitivity of an adapted version of Lehman's Quality of Life Interview in evaluating change. Completed interviews were carried out with 29 of the original cohort at one year post-discharge. The relationship between quality of life and ratings of client functioning is explored.
