[Clinical patterns in the course of alcoholic psychosis].
A dynamical study of 266 patients with alcoholic psychoses during a long period, demonstrated that the traditional classification according to the syndromological principle is not adequate to the modern development of psychiatry. The achieved clinical data testify to the fact of an existence of 3 main types of alcoholic psychoses: episodic, remittent and protracted. An analysis of the clinical picture of alcoholic psychoses from the point of view of "psychiatry development" permits to claim that there is a unity of the pathogenetical mechanisms of all the psychotic conditions in a chronic alcoholic intoxication. The main pathogenetical factors conditioning the type of psychoses is the stage of alcoholism and the character of alcholic abuse.
