title: [Experimental-psychological study in the late period of closed wartime craniocerebral injuries].
abstract: An experimental psychological study covered 70 patients with a long-term progressive course of a closed craniocerebral injury (CCCI) sustained during the war. The traumatological symptomatology was characterized by unstable working capacity, exhaustibility, deteriorated memory, inconsistent thinking, low self-esteem and a lower level of aspirations, weakening of incentives, the presence of residual disorders of speech and visual-spatial orientation. Patients with a predominant cerebrovascular disease, along with exhaustibility characteristic of traumatic pathology, showed general inhibition, inertia, rigid processes, memory deterioration, as well as poor ability for generalization and abstract thinking, lack of interests and uncritical perception of information. The results obtained should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the clinical variant of the progressive time-course at a long-term period of a CCCI as well as in the assessment of the patient's working ability and the causes of disability.
