  • Title: [Structural and dynamic characteristics of patients with oligophrenia at a forensic-psychiatric clinic].
    Author: Gorinov VV.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1989; 89(3):39-43. PubMed ID: 2728747.
    Abstract:
    In a comparative structure-dynamic investigation of 250 oligophrenic patients at the debility stage the results of forensic-psychiatric evaluation of responsibility depended on the dynamic shifts. The complexes of symptoms of psychogenic decompensation and reactive states were singled out that were observable in debile patients. The criteria are given for the forensic evaluation of these states. A group of mentally retarded patients with considerable volitional-emotional disorders was studied which did not achieve the age-related compensation. In these, social dysadaptation was of a steady nature with persisting incapability of organizing and critically assessing their own behavior.
