[Psychopathology of prolonged reaction to severe loss].
49 women with prolonged reactions to severe loss were observed. Taking into consideration heterogeneity of manifestations of the acute period two types of psychogenias were determined: with a prevalence of the affective disorders and with a prevalence of the dissociative ones. A proposed differentiation of the types of reactions to the loss had permitted to predict outcomes of psychogenias. In cases of the first type there was psychogenic complex according to mechanism of amalgamation of postreactive development with its transformation into pathocharacteristic disorder. In patients of the second type a psychogenic complex--a pathologically changed constitutional radical. It is quite stable without signs of the following dynamics with the increase of pathocharacteristic disorders.
