Abstract

Six chronic schizophrenic patients being maintained with chlorpromazine were treated on an outpatient basis. It was found that 5 of the 6 patients responded to a placebo with a major relapse. Each patient had a characteristic and reproducible period of time from the institution of the placebo to the relapse. The relapses did not seem to be related to significant life events.
