title: [Clinico-pathopsychological study of personality traits and emotions in patients with affective psychoses].
abstract: During an experimental psychological examination of 75 patients with endogenous affective psychosis differentiated according to the affect polarity in the disease course, a study was made of the stable personality traits responsible for predisposition to the disease and characterizing the patients' emotional sphere. The comparison of the pathopsychological data to the clinical characteristics supported the rightfulness of differentiating the premanifest condition in accordance with the qualitative traits of the personality structure into pseudopsychopathic, psychopathic and accentuated states as most corresponding to the division of affective psychosis into the mono- and bipolar forms. The implication of the personality factors in the pathogenesis of the distinguished varieties of affective psychosis and the rightfulness of their differentiation by the polarity of the major affect in the disease picture are under discussion.
