Abstract
In 1963 Ödegård published a catamnestic study of the 5,010 boys and girls who graduated (i.e. left after obtaining the “graduation certificate” by examination) from the high-schools (Gymnasiums) of Norway 1916–20. When this population group was followed until 1950, 117 were found to have been admitted to psychiatric hospitals for a psychosis. This material proved too small for a detailed statistical analysis, and the conclusions, although interesting and suggestive, remained inconclusive.Keywords
