| Summary: | The article address the issue of the need for comprehensive psychological assessment of patients needed to characterize «psychological diagnosis», which (along with the biological, social and functional), an important component of a holistic (holistic) understanding of the nature of mental disorders. The most important psychological characteristics in the framework of psychological diagnosis are: personal characteristics; especially cognitive processes; especially protective and coping; features an internal picture of disease (FIPD), which are discussed in terms of the concept of «psychological adaptation-compensatory potential». The latter provides for the analysis of the characteristics that represent the structure of the individual, including the study of the characteristics of their relations among themselves and with external factors. The aim of the research was to determine the clinical, psychological and experimental psychological features of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. It is concluded that patients with paranoid schizophrenia and schizotypal disorder present disturbances of thinking in the form of distortion and reduction of process of generalization, as well as the depletion of emotional thinking. Thus in patients with paranoid schizophrenia cognitive deficit are more pronounced than in patients with schizotypal disorder. At the same time profiles of psychological adaptation of patients with paranoid schizophrenia and schizotypal disorder have no significant differences. |
