“…Considering that the present material is a selection of the hospitalized most severe outcome cases, this does not exclude improvement for the total follow-up series, such as for the previous prolonged follow-up (Noreik et al, 1967). For the severely deteriorated cases we noted that severe catatonic deterioration decreased from 17 to 9 cases.…”

“…Am ong the follow-up cases, 1,078 were classified as schizo phrenics. As demonstrated in another follow-up, the schizophrenic defects have a tendency to become milder over many years (Noreik et al, 1967).…”

“…Time does not per se increase the proportion o f severe deterioration. The prolonged follow-ups have demonstrated that a 10-year additional observation period from 1956 to 1966 decreased the severe defects from 14.6 to 10.1 % ( Noreik et al, 1967). This improvement is, however, to a large extent likely to be due to drug treatment.…”

148 chronic schizophrenics admitted between 1938 and 1961 had previously been followed up. In 1972, they were re-examined, on the average 10 years after the first follow-up. 44 belonged to a series of patients studied between 1955 and 1957 with a battery of conditional reflex tests. The patients belonging to the experimental series were retested with word associations. From an experimental point of view the patients performed better over the prolonged observation period. The clinical state also showed improvement. A comparison of the chronic hospital population during 1955–57 and 1972–74 suggests that the new chronics present much less of the severe schizophrenic deterioration than the old ones. They also have remarkably better verbal functions. These changes are assumed to be mainly due to drug treatment. The beneficial effects of drugs appear to come mainly within the first 2 years.

Associative Changes in Hospitalized Schizophrenics during a 16-Year Period

After a mean test-retest period of 16 years a sample of 39 initially chronic as well as acute/subacute schizophrenic patients showed a statistically significant normalization of associative performance. This finding was corroborated by a cross-sectional comparison between the same 39 patients and a sample of chronic schizophrenics (n = 261) tested 16 years ago. The findings were attributed to effects of psychotropic drugs and improved psychiatric treatment.
