Abstract

Seven schizophrenic children, 6 boys and 1 girl, received ambulatory treatment, psychotherapy, over periods ranging from a few months to 2½ years, with varying degrees of success. Summaries of the 7 cases are presented, with emphasis on therapy and progress. On the whole, chances for relative recovery and adjustment seem to be greater than is the case with therapy in institutions.
