[Problem of the systematics of schizophrenia in light of current clinico-catamnestic, epidemiologic and clinico-genealogic information].

On the basis of the results provided by clinical follow-up, clinico-epidemiological and clinico-genealogical studies, the authors have reviewed the systematics of the major forms of schizophrenia developed at the Institute of Psychiatry of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences and offer a statistical characteristics of these forms. The authors specifically discussed the questions associated with the characteristics of the syndrome formation and course of slowly progressive (torpid) schizophrenia and the place these forms occupy in the modern foreign classifications, including the DCM-III). The paroxysm-like form was established to run predominantly the course with a small rate of attacks or the "one-paroxysm" course. Slowly progressive and psychotic forms of continuous schizophrenia were shown to be relatively continuous, being characterized by not only the signs of tortuosity of the course but also by those of regression and subsidence of the process. Attention is drawn to the necessity of special elaboration of the notion "residual schizophrenia". All these postulates are illustrated by the appropriate statistical population characteristics.

[Clinical aspects and course of schizophrenia from the aspect of age].

On the basis of a study of 3500 schizophrenic patients the authors studied the age preference of 8 schizophrenic syndromes selected for this purpose. It was demonstrated that besides some syndromes typical of schizophrenia occurring in middle age (hallucinatory-paranoid, oneiroid, etc.) there are some syndromes which are most frequently encountered in adolescency and old age. It was also shown that the influence of age factors can be combined with the influence of sex. The age factors exert a certain impact on the formation of the type of disease and its sex distribution. The paper contains a description of special age forms of schizophrenia encountered in adolescency and in old age.
