Extract

A search was made for statistical studies of the remission rate in cases of schizophrenia which had received no specialized treatment such as hypo-glycæmia. The search was confined to the period since 1918, as the period influenced by broader and more hopeful views of the nature and prognosis of “dementia præcox”. It was also confined to studies in which the remitted cases had been followed up for some time after discharge to avoid errors due to early relapses. The results of all these statistical follow-upstudies aie given in Table I. The various writers have classed their results in somewhat different ways, and it has been necessary, in constructing the Table, to fit all the results under standard headings.
