Abstract
Abstract This follow-up, after 30 years, of a large sample of juvenile clients of a St Louis psychiatric clinic, together with a matched control group, showed that those treated for neurotic disorders generally achieved healthy adulthood. In contrast, juvenile conduct disorders and antisocial behaviour were often followed by adult disturbances mostly of a sociopathic type. The study has influenced concepts of persisting antisocial personality disorder, contributed to the development of diagnostic interviewing techniques and shown the importance of longitudinal surveys.
