[1 of the variants of stable psychopath-like states in patients with slowly progressing schizophrenia (problem of residual schizophrenia)].

The peculiarities of the clinical course and development of stable psychopathlike states formed during slow-progressive schizophrenia stabilization were studied in 111 patients. Clinically they were attributed to a group of pseudopsychopathy and could be regarded as residual states. Two forming mechanisms of pseudopsychopathy corresponding to the course of endogenic process were singled out: the first one was typified as a characterological shift in paroxysmal course of the disease; the second one as an "amalgamated type" in stagnant course of the disease. Clinical typology of pseudopsychopathies including schizoid, hypochondriac, hyperthymic, hypoparanoic states is presented. Social rehabilitation peculiarities in each case were marked out. The development of endogenic psychoses eventuating in the formation of psychopathlike states is reviewed.
