PROGNOSIS IN ADOLESCENT DISORDERS
Abstract
Follow-up information with a span of 5 to 19 years was obtained on 153 adolescent patients between the ages of 12 and 18, hospitalized at the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic.
The patients were divided into 4 outcome groups based on their present level of functioning. The criteria of the groups ranged from symptom free to incapacitation necessitating hospital care.
A comparison was then made between 20 clinical factors used for prognosis and actual later adjustment. In a previous publication the results with the schizophrenic patients were presented. In this paper the results with the psychoneurotic, psychopathic personality, affective, organic groups are presented.
The conclusion presents the prognostic factors as related or not related to outcome.
The discussion compares the relative value of all the prognostic factors studied.
