Background In clinical practise, discharge letters addressed to caregivers; are rare. Method We report on a discharge letter, addressed to the family of a 46-year-old patient suffering from a disorganized type of schizophrenia with continuous course. Results The case report indicates that letters to caregivers are useful to provide psychoeducation, to disburden caregivers and to enhance treatment continuation, prevention of relapse and rehabilitation of the patient. Furthermore, discharge letters to caregivers appreciate the role of relatives as important partners in patients' successful treatment. Conclusions Letters to caregivers are an efficient chance to increase confidence and satisfaction of caregivers of psychiatric patients.
