[Typology of the non-psychotic form of psychogenic fantasizing]. / K tipologii nepsikhoticheskikh form psikhogennogo fantazirovaniia.

Non-morbid forms of fantasy were studied in 120 individuals with psychopathy (n = 80) and psychopath-like manifestations of traumatic genesis (n = 40) in psychogenic conditions. The authors identified such variants of fantasy at a non-psychotic level as "expansive-sthenic" and "paraphrenia-like" which are considered as manifestations of adaptive psychological mechanisms.

[Clinico-psychological features of mild forms of reactive states]. / Kliniko-psikhologicheskie osobennosti legkikh form reaktivnykh sostoianii.

Using clinical and psychological methods, 56 patients with psychogenically induced non-psychotic affective states were examined. In relation to the clinical picture and the dominating affect, the following variants of the mild forms of reactive states were identified: anxiety-depressive, depressive-hypochondriac, astheno-depressive and pseudomanic. The specific features of the structure of the above syndromes are described. The utilization of the data obtained will contribute to the early diagnosis of psychogenic affective disturbances and also to preventing the development of serious psychogenic conditions.

[Clinical criteria for the social dangerousness of schizophrenics (syndromes with a predominance of delusional and hallucinatory disorders)]. / O klinicheskikh kriteriiakh obshchestvennoi opasnosti bol'nykh shizofreniei (sindromy s preobladeniem bredovykh i galliutinatornykh rasstroistv).

Data obtained from epidemiological studies carried out in some large administrative regions have shown that among the causes of socially dangerous actions committed by schizophrenics the syndromes with prevalent delusional and hallucinatory-delusional disorders take the second (after psychopathy-like states), and, as regards acts of violence, the first place. Practically all the phenomena of a delusional or a hallucinatory-delusional syndrome may be the motives of the socially dangerous actions. However, the occurrence and character of those actions are different, these differences being associated with particular psychopathological features of the hallucinatory-delusional syndromes. The knowledge of those peculiarities may contribute to early recognition of such patients and to taking adequate curative and rehabilitation measures aimed at preventing the dangerous actions.

[Clinical criteria of the social danger of schizophrenic patients (psychopathlike states)]. / O klinicheskikh kriteriiakh obshchestvennoi opasnosti bol'nykh shizofreniei (psikhopatopodobnye sostoianiia).

On the basis of an epidemiological multifactorial comparative study of schizphrenic patients who committed and did not commit socially dangerous acts, in several large administrative territories it was possible to detect a distinct correlation of different types of dangerous acts with clinical symptoms of the disease. The study contains a list of syndromes and their variants conjugated with different frequencies of dangerous acts. It was established that schizophrenic patients most frequently commit dangerous acts when there is a predominance of psychopathlike disorders in the clinical picture, mainly of a polymorphic and explosive character. It was demonstrated that this circumstance should be taken into consideration along with other factors, in a comprehensive assessment of the risk of a commitment of socially dangerous acts by patients.
