A conceptual review of Schneider's concepts of psychopathy and the first rank symptoms of schizophrenia, and a critical review of the English research literature relating thereto. It is concluded that some of the criticism of Schneider's concepts is to be attributed to a misunderstanding of what he actually meant.

The article deals with the typology of asthenic disturbances that determine for a long time the clinical picture of slowly progressive schizophrenia. Two types of asthenia (extensive and limited) have been identified as a result. With regard to clinical peculiarities these manifestations can be collated respectively with "pseudoneurasthenia" and "autochtonous asthenia". The author has analyzed the dynamics of these variants of the asthenic symptom complex to which, with the progression of the process, disturbances of the non-delirious hypochondria type are added. The author has established the relationship between clinical features of asthenia and the degree of progression of the process and a differing structure of negative changes formed at late stages of the disease. The first type (extensive asthenia) is observed in the framework of slowly progressive neurosis-like schizophrenia with manifestations of a moderate asthenic defect. The second type (limited asthenia) is noted in psychopathy-like slowly progressive schizophrenia associated with signs of greater progression and psychopathy-like changes of the "verschoben-type" with intellectual reduction.

Significant relationships were found between unemployment in the last five years and a lifetime history of psychiatric disorder. These results are based on interviews of 3,258 randomly selected non-institutionalized adult residents of Edmonton, conducted by trained lay interviewers using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) and the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire (GHQ, 30-item). Having a lifetime history of a psychiatric disorder increased the odds of being unemployed 2.8 times. Disorders carrying the highest risk for unemployment were anorexia, antisocial personality disorder, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. GHQ results indicated that those experiencing periods of unemployment are also likely to have higher current symptom and stress levels than those who are employed.

Comparative experimental psychological investigation of continuous schizophrenia and schizoid psychopathy was performed in 60 and 35 patients, respectively aged 16 to 30. Clinical diagnosis was confirmed in catamnestic follow-up. A set of 11 psychological techniques was employed. Differential diagnostic indices were derived from the study of psychic processes in both diseases. Diagnostic significance and informative values were assessed for individual techniques with special reference to their relevance to differential diagnosis of schizophrenia and schizoid psychopathy.

The authors determined the six-month and lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders among 100 consecutively admitted female offenders to a prison, using Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS Version III) and found high prevalence rates of schizophrenia, major depression, substance use disorders, psychosexual dysfunction, and antisocial personality disorders. The prevalence rates of these disorders were significantly higher than those of the general population. The authors note the implications of their findings for treatment of women within the correctional system.

A genetic correlational analysis of two variants of slowly progressive schizophrenia (SPS) (hysterical schizophrenia--70 families, paranoid schizophrenia--40 families) and hysterical psychopathy (30 families) has demonstrated that there is a definite genetic heterogeneity between nosologically heterogeneous hysterical manifestations in SPS and constitutional psychopathy which reflects the influence of the general constitutional "axis" in systems of genetic determination of these forms. At the same time no significant genetic correlations (according to hysterical predisposition) have been found between the above forms and the paranoid variant of SPS. The results corroborate the hypothesis about a multiaxial structure of hereditary predisposition in SPS.

A comparative study of two groups of patients with sluggish psychopathy-like schizophrenia complicated (n = 125) and uncomplicated (n = 85) by alcoholism has shown that alcoholism somewhat enlivens affectivity and reduces autistic manifestations, increasing, however, the progressive nature of the schizophrenic process and leading to the formation of a deeper defect.

Suicide seems to be increasing in young people in various countries and causes the greatest loss of years of life under the age of 65 in the Swedish population. Data from a national survey of 50,465 conscripts in Sweden were used in a prospective follow up study to assess personality and behavioural predictors of suicide in young men. Altogether 247 completed suicides occurred in the cohort during 13 years' follow up. Baseline data on social conditions, psychological assessments, and psychiatric diagnoses of the conscripts were entered into a Cox regression model with suicide as the outcome variable. Several early indicators of antisocial personality (poor emotional control, contact with a child welfare authority or the police, and lack of friends) were strongly predictive of suicide. None of the few conscripts who had a diagnosis of schizophrenia or affective psychosis committed suicide. A diagnosis of neurosis was associated with a twofold increase in the suicide rate and personality disorder with a threefold increase. Although the risk of suicide is difficult to assess in an unselected population owing to the low base rate of suicide, the predictors identified in the study may help to identify those at high risk in units where people with deviant behaviour and personality disorders cluster.

The author examined 49 patients with schizophrenia taking the course of pseudoneurosis. It has been established that at advanced stages of pseudoneurosis the clinical picture is largely characterized by psychopathy-like changes of a varying structure--schizo-anancastic (n = 20), schizo-hysterical (n = 14) and of the "Verschrobenheit-type" (n = 15). Corresponding groups of patients were distinguished by characteristic pre-morbid manifestations, peculiarities of obsessions and the modus of adaptive behaviour, in particular by a peculiar adaptation to obsessive-phobic disturbances which correlated with psychopathy-like changes.

A study conducted in a mental hospital involved 157 male adolescents (aged 14-17 years) with psychopathy (n = 42), oligophrenia (n = 49), and schizophrenia (n = 66) who displayed some sexual deviations. Homosexual manifestations were found to be the most frequent form of sexual deviations (61%). Other forms included sadomasochistic actions, heterosexual aggression, sexual claims to relatives, exhibitionism, etc. The mechanisms of the development of deviant sexual behaviour differed in the framework of the nosology and type of deviations.
