The paper attempts to clarify the differential diagnosis between childhood schizophrenia and mental retardation at the preschool, preverbal level. Diagnostic techniques include standardized play observations and psychological tests, both administered before and after a year of psychotherapy. The techniques yielded statistically significant differences between the clinical groups before psychotherapy and revealed statistically significant changes with psychotherapy. This is in an interim report. A second year of psychotherapy is in progress
