[Defense mechanisms in paranoid schizophrenia].

A group of 90 hospitalized patients suffering from paranoid schizophrenia were examined and than compared with parallel group of 90 healthy volunteers. The following methods of examinations were used: Plutchick's LSI-Test, Spilberger's STAI-Test, Szustowa's Egocentric Association Test and an Inventory of Self-Description by Lukaszewski. The results indicate that schizophrenic patients in comparison to healthy persons use the specific defense mechanisms (rationalization and negation) more often and have higher level of egocentrism. On the other hand both groups can be characterised by a low level of ability to change "ego".

[Activation level and the mechanism of emotional control in patients with paranoid schizophrenia].

The group of 60 paranoid schizophrenics and pair-matched group of 60 healthy controls were studied. The level of activation was measured by LPT technique by R. E. Thayer, and J. Brzezinski's Questionnaire for Emotional Control was used. The results indicate no differences between the level of activation among paranoid schizophrenics and controls. Patients, in comparison to healthy subjects, showed low level of emotional control, undeveloped control of emotional expression, impulsiveness, the high threshold of emotional arousal, the lack of resistance to emotions, and low level of control of behaviour in emotional states.

[The "ego" structure in paranoid schizophrenia].

Using the Ego-Strength Scale by F. Barron, the Scale for Self-acceptance by A. J. Brzezinski, and Delta Questionnaire by R. Drwal, 206 paranoid schizophrenic in-patients and 126 healthy controls were studied. The study showed the weakness of feelings of identity among paranoid schizophrenics while the level of self-acceptance and the sense of control did not differ among groups studied.
