[Typological characteristics of manifest states of schizo-dominant form of schizoaffective psychosis].
On the basis of a clinical and psychopathological analysis of 77 patients with schizodominant form of schizoaffective psychosis their typological division is suggested according to predominant mechanism of delusion formation. Two types are described: 1) with formation of an acute sensitive delusion; 2) with predominance of acute interpretative delusion. It was established the interrelationship of a psychopathologic structure of the delusional disturbances with the special features of affective disorders in their formation and development in the structure of manifest schizodominant states. Clinical heterogeneity of these disturbances and their differentiation accounting for different characteristics of delusion formation is discussed. The conclusion is also made about the necessity of a further comparison of the described types with both the course and prognosis of the disease.
