Abstract

Continuing the main concepts developed by P. B. Gannushkin concerning epileptoid psychopathy as an independent form of personality anomaly the author considers some clinical traits and the dynamics of this form of psychopathy. Epileptoid psychopathy is evaluated in the light of an interaction of epileptoid traits in the personality with some external influences and diseases of an organic nature. The paper deals with different variants of psychogenic reactions in this contingent of patients, reactions to intoxication influences and special clinical traits of this form of psychopathy in combination with organic brain lesions and in particularly with arteriosclerosis. Besides, the author discusses some problems of interrelations of epileptoid psychopathy with schizophrenia and epilepsy.
