[Features of psychic infantilism as a risk factor for the development of psychopathy]
Insights
Psychic infantilism, characterized by personality immaturity, significantly contributes to delinquent behavior in patients with borderline disturbances. Addressing these infantilism traits can reduce behavioral issues and improve clinical outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Psychiatry
- Psychology
- Behavioral Science
Context:
- Study conducted on 96 patients with borderline disturbances.
- Day-time hospitalization setting.
- Focus on psychic infantilism and delinquent behavior.
Purpose:
- To investigate the role of psychic infantilism in delinquent behavioral deviations.
- To explore the relationship between psychic infantilism compensation and behavioral changes.
- To identify readaptation stages for treating partial infantilism.
Summary:
- Psychic infantilism, marked by immature personality development, is linked to delinquent behavior in borderline patients.
- Various levels of psychic infantilism were observed.
- A correlation exists between managing infantilism features and reduced delinquency.
- Readaptation stages were identified to aid treatment.
Impact:
- Findings suggest that targeting psychic infantilism can mitigate delinquent manifestations in borderline personality disorder.
- Identified readaptation stages offer a pathway for positive clinical progression.
- Contributes to understanding personality immaturity in behavioral disorders.
Abstract:
The characteristics of psychic infantilism and its role in delinquent deviations of the behaviour were studied in 96 patients with borderline disturbances under conditions of day-time hospitalization. Immaturity and incomplete formation of the personality as well as various levels of psychic infantilism were shown to play a definite role in behavioural deviations of patients with borderline disturbances. A definite relationship was found between the compensation of psychic infantilism features and a decrease in the level of delinquent manifestations. Readaptation stages were identified in the treatment of patients with manifestations of partial infantilism, which helped to achieve a positive clinical time-course.
