Abstract:
The aim of this work was to describe the needs structure in paranoid schizophrenia and to compare it with healthy controls. 70 outpatients (35 males and 35 females) aged 38-46 and 70 matched healthy persons were examined using the Polish adaptations of "Adjective Check List" and "Stern Activities Index". It was found out that the greatest differences and intensity took place for harmavoidance, blamavoidance, infavoidance (safeness), need for succorance, order, deference and abasement; the lowest level was found out for need for changes, aggressiveness, exhibition and domination.
