[Psychological study of the intellectual-personality characteristics of neurotic patients (according to findings from use of the experimental Vygotskii-Sakhorov method)].

The author describes some special traits in accomplishing the modified techniques for a formation of conceptions according to Vigotsky-Sakharov's test in patients with different forms of neuroses (neurasthenia, hysteria, psychasthenia). A study of conceptual thinking in such patients revealed a dissociation between the possibility of a practical mastering of the task and its verbalization on a conceptual level which is characteristic of hysteria.
