[Separation of psychopathy-like states of residual organic origin from psychogenic pathocharacterologic personality development (clinico-electroencephalographic study)].

The paper deals with a clinical and EEG characteristic of 2 groups of patients: 1) with psychopathlike conditions, due to early organic brain lesions (trauma during delivery, postnatal brain infections, etc), and 2) psychogenic pathological personality development in the presence of mild residual-organic brain insufficiency. Residual organic insufficiency in the first group is the main etiopathogenitical factor of disordered behaviour in children and adolescents. In the second group a psychogenically induced situation is one of the important factors of disturbed behaviour.
