[The social psychological adaptation of patients with borderline mental disorders].
Social Interview Scale (SIS) elaborated by A. Clare and V. Cairns was applied. The principal information concerning adaptation and reliability of the method was presented. Two groups of patients with borderline disorders and control group (120 cases at all) were examined. The patient's groups were distinguished by the severity of the illness: the 1-st group included 30 continuous sluggish schizophrenic patients with pseudoneurotic symptoms (ICD-10: F 21) registered in mental health dispensary, the 2-nd group consisted of 50 neurotic patients who attended a psychiatrist in a district out-patient clinic (ICD-10: F 4). Social adaptation was estimated in terms of the basic areas of the man's life: housekeeping, professional occupation, material conditions, entertainments and leisure, microsocial relationships, matrimonial and family relations. It was found that schizophrenic patients were characterized first of all by severe complications in the interpersonal relations exactly with close relatives and in matrimonial sphere. Meanwhile neurotic patients were preoccupied mainly by social functioning problems as well as by job or housewife role dissatisfaction.
