Summary/Abstract: Nothing is more challenging in psychiatry than the management of chronic psychosis. Indeed, this issue may shape the future of psychiatry in the long run. Today there is excessive pessimism in the field about our ability to influence the outcome of chronic schizophrenia. In my opinion we need a long term vision with emphasis on prevention, early detection and a good dose of optimism. Winston Churchill once said: “for my self I am an optimist – it does not seem to be much use in being anything else.”
