This is a report of one hundred nine patients with a diagnosis of pseudoneurotic schizophrenia seen in five- to twenty-year follow-up studies. There seemed to be a lifelong history of illness in many such patients. Ten percent attempted suicide during the follow-up period; two succeeded in their attempts. About one fifth developed overt schizophrenic symptomatology at some time during the follow-up period; half of these had remissions. About one third of the patients had done well, one third fairly well, and one third poorly at follow-up.
