[Clinical picture and dynamics of mosaic variants of schizoid (autistic) psychopathy in childhood and adolescence].

The clinical course of schizoepileptic and schizopsychoasthenic variants of developing schizoid psychopathy are reviewed. On the basis of the study of 45 patients in childhood and adolescence, specific characteristics of the psychopathic, pathocharacterologic and neurotic reactions are described and their role in the evolution of an abnormal personality is shown. The role of constitutional-genetic and microsocial-environmental factors in the structural formation of these variants of psychopathies is discussed. It is concluded that the combination of various psychopathic radicals observed in the structure of an abnormal personality do not present mere summation of these factors but is manifested in complex dialectical interaction.
