  • Title: [The verschroben-type defect in torpid schizophrenia].
    Author: Vorob'ev VIu, Nefed'ev OP.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1987; 87(9):1378-83. PubMed ID: 3425082.
    Abstract:
    The authors have studied 30 patients with torpid schizophrenia associated with unfavourable changes of the 'verschroben' type. Only those cases are considered in which manifestations of this defect almost completely determined the clinical picture of the disease. A detailed psychopathological analysis has demonstrated that in patients presenting unfavourable changes of the 'verschroben' type all features characteristic of a mild typical schizophrenic defect or a defect of schizoid structure (autism, emotional changes, bizarre behaviour, paradoxic features in thinking and behaviour, motor peculiarities, disturbances in the sphere of instincts and inclinations) become most expressed. It has also been established that a 'verschroben' type defect forms at later stages of the disease taking a form of evolutional schizophrenia.
