[Social-work adaptation of patients with sluggish schizophrenia in the late stages of the course of the disease (according to the results of a clinico-epidemiologic study)].
The author presents the results of a clinico-epidemiological examination covering 156 patients with slowly progressive schizophrenia of long standing (over 10 years), who had fallen ill in adolescence. The parameters of the social and occupational adaptation of the patients with slowly progressive schizophrenia studied at the late stages of the disease included the educational level, qualification, the presence or absence of disability and the adaptation to the life in the family and to everyday household routine. The study has shown that patients with slowly progressive schizophrenia possess considerable potentialities with regard to social and occupational readaptation. This points to the need of developing the most effective social measures adequate for patients with slowly progressive schizophrenia (recommendations for the continuation of education in different training establishments, elaboration of the basic principles of familial psychotherapy).
