[Psychogenic onsets of slowly progressive schizophrenia].

The authors studied 26 patients with slowly progressive schizophrenia, where prior to distinct symptoms of a schizophrenic process there was a reactive depression in the framework of the dynamics of psychopathy and in patients with an eventual development of the schizophrenic process. The report contains arguments indicating to the possibility of assessing the period of reactive lability, prior to the manifestation of schizophrenia, as a latent phase in the development of an endogenous process.

[Typology of defective states with a syndrome of monotonous activity in schizophrenic patients (problem of late remissions)].

The authors compared 2 types of defective states with a predominance of the syndrome of monotonous activity in the structure of a protracted remission in shift-like schizophrenia. Of the syndrome of monotonous activity of the 1st type the following conditions were most characteristic: autistic activity; a selective attraction to certain forms of work despite their relative high degree of organization and complexity; hyperactivity which was next to an overvalued approach to work. The 2nd type was characterized by a passive attitude to work, a significant restriction of forms of work and machine-like, similar to stereotypicity, character of activity.

[Differential pharmacotherapy of neurotic conditions (comparative effectiveness of benzodiazepine derivatives)].

The effectiveness in treating borderline states to a certain degree depends upon the pole (sthenic or asthenic) of the corresponding disturbance. Tranquilizers are the preparations of choice in the treatment of disorders of an asthenic pole (psychopathy of the asthenic range, neurotic states). In borderline conditions of a sthenic pole the effectiveness of tranquilizers is equal or sometimes is even less than in therapy with small doses of neuroleptics. In treating neurotic conditions tranquilizers of the benzodiazepine group can be ranged in the following succession: nitrazepam, chlordiazepoxide, medazepam, oxazepam, diazepam, lorazepam. This preparation is a continuun of an increasing psychotropic activity.
