[Typology of the defect in patients with non-manifest schizophrenia (clinico-psychological study)].

A comprehensive examination of the defect at long-term stages of the course of non-manifest schizophrenia with a decrease in social adaptation showed that its nature was not uniform in relation to both the clinical structure and specific psychological parameters. The results demonstrated that the two different types of the defect, "torpid fanatics" and "dependent personalities", correlated with the internal and external locus control. Specific features of social adaptation corresponding to the developed typology were also specified: preservation of the formal orientation on the social norms and super-worship orientations in the first type of the defect or aspiration for only personal welfare and dependence on the microsocial environment in the second. In agreement with the data obtained, the authors developed differential recommendations for rehabilitation which requires consideration of superworship interests and skills in the given area in the first group of patients and of the inclination for manual work and industriousness in conditions of constant supervision in the second group of patients.
