title: [Problem of defining psychopathies and so-called preclinical states in borderline psychiatry].
abstract: The structure of the personality of mentally deficient law violators of sound mind can be differentiated into two types of aberrations, namely pathological (clinical disturbances) and nonpathological (social and psychologic deformations). These properties in different combinations were detected in all law violators examined. The role of these deviations in the genesis of law violation is discussed. Differential assessment of clinical, social and psychological phenomena allows a more clear-cut differentiation of psychopathic, psychopathlike and some preclinical conditions and also determination of their probable time-course.
