• The results of a follow-up study comparing former child psychiatric inpatients who hallucinated with a matched group of psychiatric inpatients with no history of hallucinations are reported. The mean follow-up period was 4 years, and the mean age at follow-up was nearly 15 years. The study found that hallucinations persisted and that children who hallucinated required more institutionalized care. When compared with other psychiatrically impaired children who did not hallucinate, the children who hallucinated also exhibited more behavioral disturbance. A family history of psychosis, but not affective disorders, may be related to poor outcome. J. Am. Acad. Child Adolesc. Psychiatry, 1988, 27, 4:462–465.
