SUMMARY Forty‐two neurotic children and thirty children with behaviour disorder were followed up from 1 to 4 years after they attended for psychiatric advice. The mean follow‐up period for the former group was 2·7 years and for latter 2·9 years. At follow‐up 78·6 per cent of the neurotic children but only 53·3 per cent of the group with behaviour disorder were symptom‐free or significantly improved.
