Conclusions and Clinical Conclusions and Clinical ImplicationsImplications
• Striking heterogeneity in the long-term course of schizophrenia challenges conventional notions of chronicity and therapeutic pessimism
• Evidence of late recovery in a significant minority of subjects should encourage innovative rehabilitation and employment programs in those with long-term illness, despite earlier failures.
