Abstract

The authors examined 287 patients who developed neurosis-like and psychopathy-like disorders 1-15 years after the experienced exogenous organic diseases (brain traumas, vascular diseases and infectious-toxic diseases). In the assessment of adaptation under conditions of a large industrial enterprise the factors under consideration were: the patient's attitude to his fellow workers and superiors, participation in social work, the attitude of the fellow-workers and superiors to the patient, etc. Four levels of adaptation were identified: (1) complete stable; (2) incomplete professional; (3) incomplete psychological; (4) incomplete unstable (formal). The level of adaptation and the nature of mental disorders were found to correlate. The elucidated regularities may serve as a basis for elaborating rehabilitative programmes for individual groups of patients.
