[Features of emotional disorders in psychopathic personalities].

Emotional disorders were explored in patients with hysteric and psychoasthenic psychopathies and in those with hysteric pathocharacterologic development (a total of 154 patients) are present. Clinical and neurophysiologic research methods were employed. The results obtained suggest that an elevation in emotivity of both group patients represents the leading characteristic of pathocharacterologic disturbances playing the major role in the desadaptation of patients. The evidence also shows a general regularity in the organization of their higher nervous activity in the form of the tension of the adrenergic cerebral mechanism of adaptive reactions regulation which leads to a higher affectiveness.
