[Role of psychological factors in socio-occupational adaptation of patients with slowly-progressing schizophrenia].
The author studied relations between spontaneous social and working adaptation of patients with slow-progressing schizophrenia (the astheno-depressive and astheno-hypochondriacal syndromes) and their cognitive peculiarities and system of relations with the surrounding world, people, and themselves. Integral characteristics of the personalities of patients with successful and unsuccessful social and working adaptation are described. It was found that the successful adaptation of patients was based on value orientations characterized by a general compensatory direction at adequately evaluated personal and social difficulties with a high degree of observing social norms. As the adaptation becomes less and less successful, the part of adequate evaluations and relations determining the patient's self-estimation diminishes, the role of egocentric tendencies and purposes, and primitive requirements gets greater. The data obtained may be used for individual forecasting of the social and working adaptation of patients with slow-progressing schizophrenia and the tactics of psychic correction of their condition.
