Clinical and experimental psychological studies (MMPI, Eisenks's questionnaire, methods by Luria and Kraepelin, types of attitude toward disease) carried out in 157 adults and children with progressive myodystrophies and amyotrophies revealed alterations in the neuropsychic sphere in 134 patients (85%). In the structure of borderline disorders, depressive disturbances prevailed (54.5%), and the asthenic and psychopathlike symptomatology could be seen. The use of the psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic correction promoted regression of the psychopathological symptomatology in 76% of adults and in 84% of children.
