[Variants of the course of schizoaffective psychoses].
The clinical and follow-up studies of 107 patients with 2-10 attacks of schizoaffective psychoses permiteed one to distinguish the main variants of development: cyclothymolike, typical schizoaffective and a variant nearer to shiftlike schizophrenia. In a cyclothymolike variant, the attacks resemble phases of a cyclothymic psychoses, but the development of the disease becomes atypical dissociated. The remissions are characterized by disthymical and somatopsychic disorders and personality changes. Typical schizoaffective variants have a development with attacks, mainly of the "acute schizophrenia" type. Following the attacks there is a stabilization of the process with minimal personality changes. In variants nearer to shiftlike schizophrenia, the affective disorders in the framework of the attack gradually lose their intensity, while the hallucinatory delusional symptomatology acquires a tendency towards a systematization. The remissions are short with more marked personality changes.
