[Typology of delusional states in schizophrenic patients].

A series of 100 adults with the most common variants of delirious schizophrenia running both continuous and paroxysmal course were examined. The study established the structural unity of delirious states in the above forms of the schizophrenia course. The consistency of the considered delirious symptom-complexes with regard to their growing complexity corresponded to the time-course of psychopathological states associated with the development of oneiroid psychotic attacks. This suggests that the variability of delirious schizophrenia is determined by the level at which the psychotic state was stabilized and also by its duration and the degree of the psychopathological symptomatology.
