| Summary: | As mental health services undergo the process of deinstitutionalization, this is resulting in a higher burden of care for relatives.

A reduction of responsibility for relatives is linked with a significantly improved outcome for the severely mentally ill. The aim of the study was to explore the relatives’ experiences with severely mentally ill patients in different integrated care service providers. |
