Extract

In a paper in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Chapman (1963) states categorically that no extensive follow-up investigations of neurotic patients exist. So long as we do not know the prognosis of neurotic illness, every evaluation of the results of therapy is impossible. Most psychiatrists feel that they help their patients, but one does not know with certainty.
