[Social-vocational adaptation of patients with neurosis-like forms of organic brain disease].
Using a number of indices the authors studied a long-term follow-up of 70 patients with neurosis-like forms of organic diseases affecting the brain (arachnoidites, encephalitides, diencephalitides). The time-course was assessed by clinical improvement and improvement in social functioning. Three groups of patients were specified, who were characterized by a definite type of personal response to the disease and peculiarities of social and occupational adaptation. The distribution of patients by groups and, hence, the clinical, social and occupational prognosis are determined by the psychoneurotic component of the disease rather than by the organic one.
