A follow-up study of ten child tiqueurs, who had been patients at the New York Psychiatric Institute, revealed six who were making a fair to good adjustment years after discharge from the hospital. In some of these the tic syndrome had disappeared. The good results are attributed by the authors to excellent handling of the environment after hospitalization. Two patients in whom schizophrenic breakdown and poor social adjustment occurred, also showed improvement in the tic syndrome. Deep psychotherapy with undue emphasis on release of aggressive and erotic drives weakens the controlling powers of the ego and its continuation throughout adolescence is contraindicated. Psychotherapy of the type which will provide the child with some perspective concerning his instinctual impulses and the necessary strength to cope with them is indicated. It is essential to facilitate channelization of the increased amorphous motor urge into differentiated, highly organized locomotor and athletic outdoor occupation.
