title: Curtain on schizophrenia: a twenty-five-year clinical follow-up.
abstract: An individual's emergence from severe chronic schizophrenia into adaptive orientation to his surroundings and himself, continuous for 25 years, is documented by verbatim progress notes and recent follow-up contact. Given time and personalized support, ways around the basic schizophrenic instability may be found, as hearteningly demonstrated here.
