    Abstract:
    A structural dynamic analysis of productive disorders in visual perception was attempted on the basis of psychological study of 344 patients. These disorders were studied according to the increasing degree of inadequacy (anisomorphia) of pathological images in respect to real stimula. Considering the differences of such phenomena according to the degree of discrepancy of their perceptive characteristics with the traits of real objects, some successively complicated pathological images were examined, including traditional false recognition, illusions and hallucinations, as well as interlapping intermediate structures. Some pathogenetical mechanisms in the formations of visual illusions are suggested. Clinico-psychopathological parallels are made between disorders of visual perception and disease entities.
