title: [Clinical characteristic of schizoaffective disorders developed after psychic trauma].
abstract: Seventy-four patients with schizoaffective disorder caused by psychic trauma (a basic group) and 51 patients with spontaneous manifestation of this disorder (a comparison group) have been studied. The prevalence of personality traits of inhibited spectrum with predisposition to affective disorders and psychogenic reactions were observed in the patients of the basic group. Situations of emotional deprivation were the most frequent content of mental stress. The psychic trauma exerts a provoking, pathoplastic and pathokinetic effect in schizoaffective disorder. Three variants of the course of schizoaffective disorder after emotional stress have been singled out: with psychogenic neurotic manifestation, with psychogenic psychotic manifestation (psychogenic reactive depression type) and with endogenous manifestation.
