title: [The psychopathological differentiation of pathological body sensations].
abstract: The special group termed as "somatic fantasies" (SF) was distinguished among pathological somatic sensations of heteronomous character. Psychopathological structure of SF differed from senestopathias in some signs: objectiveness--the sensation achieved the level of the real perception of physical phenomena and objects; formal-geometrical organisation--the possibility of their parametric estimation (in form, volume, size, etc.); space location--the clear correlation of feelings with certain organ or physiological process; dynamic characteristics-- variability, mobility. The description of somatic sensations was characterized by allegory image as well as by metaphorical, affective saturation as compared with senestopathias. SF were observed in patients with borderline mental disorders in accordance with the 1CD-10 diagnostical headings: schizotypic disorder (F21), anxious phobic disorders (F40, F41), dissociative disturbances (F44), somatoform disorders (F45). 19 patients (6 males, 11 females; mean age 32.6 years) formed the group examined. Two variations of SF were recognized which correlated with hysterical or schizotypic disorders of personality.
