%X This article explores the evolution of a major longitudinal ¡®high risk for schizophrenia¡¯ research programme, started over 50 years ago, which has been largely ignored in recent debates over ¡®psychosis risk¡¯ and early intervention. Studying mainly the offspring of individuals with schizophrenia, high-risk investigators aimed to identify a range of precursors of schizophrenia in the hope that the findings would eventually facilitate effective primary prevention. Specifically, the article examines the origins and impact of the pioneering Copenhagen High-Risk Project (1962¨C1989) and thus provides an important contribution to the sparse historical literature on schizophrenia research, including the study of milder conditions and at-risk states in the borderlands of psychosis
