A Long-Term Follow-Up Study of 60 Adolescent Psychiatric Outpatients
Abstract
The author describes a follow-up study of 60 psychiatrically disturbed outpatients who had first been seen at least ten years earlier. His findings suggest that adult disorders can be predicted on the basis of the patient's history of earlier childhood difficulty and the nature of his adolescent symptoms. Psychotherapeutic treatment did not seem to have had an effect on the outcome for those with a poor prognosis.
