Sixteen children were selected at random from the Bellevue Hospital Well Baby Clinic for long-term study, and, to this point, were followed for ten

years. Of the sixteen, three infants were judged 'vulnerable' to schizophrenia on the basis of grossly uneven development at one month of age. One of the three was lost to the study before it was complete. Of the two remaining, at age nine, one was judged autistic, a childhood schizophrenic; the other as having psychopathic features, schizoid emptiness, and detachment. This pilot study suggests the value of and need for wider and more detailed developmental and predictive studies.
