Conversional/Dissociative And Obsessive-Phobic Symptoms In The Structure Of Neurotic Reactions, Neuropathic/Psychopathic Developments And Personality Disorders In The Context Of The Pecularities Of Psychotherapy

Abstract

The article describes clinical variants of psihasthenic and hysterical types of character manifested in obsessive-fobic and conversional/ dissociative disorders. In accordance with constitution(cycloid, schizoid, epileptoid, or mixed), on the basis of which, in the opinion of the author, hysterical and psychasthenic character is evolved, the clinical manifestations can vary considerably, making it difficult to diagnose, establish and maintain mental contact, conduct adequate therapy. The difficulties don’t end there. The so called classical types and forms of border mental disorders described in textbooks and monographs in clinical reality are rare, much rarer than mixed. The emphasis is made on the detailed description of new subtypes and subvariants using old classical models.
