Abstract
In their article published in this Journal in 1965, May and Tuma (1) suggested that only the use of medication made a difference in the outcome with schizophrenics, and that psychotherapy, whether or not combined with medication, made essentially no difference. Their data, however, as in so many psychotherapy projects, referred only to patients treated by inexperienced therapists, namely psychiatric hospital residents under supervision.
