[Dynamics of the remission of acute schizophrenic episodes during psychopharmacologic treatment]

The process of formation of therapeutic remission in patients with acute schizophrenic episodes was studied. Two types of the therapeutic regression, i.e. the critical and the lytic ones (both having a harmonious and a dysharmonious variants) are specified. It is shown that the process of the therapeutic remission formation in the harmonious variant of the lytic regression passes through a regular sequence of stages (stages of polymorph disturbances, structural organization of the objective manifestations of the psychosis, reduction, destruction, and transformation of the syndrome and the disturbances at the neurotic level). The integrated picture is formed at each stage of psychopathological disturbances having peculiarities associated with the level of the patient's conscience and self-conscience. The direction of the experiences, as regards the values and the sense, regularly changes. At each stage respective ways of psychological defence are realized.
