Method: Records of forty-one schizophrenia patients, who had been admitted to DH betvveen 1995-1998, were evaluated. The vveighted annual means of relapses, hospitalisations and levels of functioning prior and after DH treatment have bee calculated and the efficacy of DH treatment was explored by using these variables. Results: The vveighted annual means of relapses-hospitalisations and levels of functioning before DH treatment were 0.58, 0.47, 47.95 respectively. The vveighted annual means of relapses-hospitalisations and levels of functioning after DH treatment were 0.17, 0.09, 56.05 respectively. Discussion: İt has been observed that the relaps and hospitalisation rates prior to DH treatment were higher than the relaps and hospitalisation rates after DH treatment.
