Abstract
Reviewers of the literature are unanimous that in schizophrenia the outcome is better in cases where there is a history of stress shortly before the onset of the illness. Zubin et al. (1961) found 89 papers ascribing a favourable prognostic influence to stress and none maintaining that it had a bad or immaterial effect.Keywords
