Pathocharacterological reactions have been studied in a long-term follow-up (9-12 years) of 58 youths aged 14-18 years. These reactions were observed more frequently (P less than 0.05) in teenagers with a premorbid accentuation of the character of the epileptoid, unstable, hyperthymic, or hysteroid types. The studied reactions are classified in accordance with the characterological principle. Recommendations on rehabilitation of the above group of patients are presented. The questions of the differential diagnosis are considered. On the whole a stable social adaptation was observed in 72.4% of patients despite a considerable duration of pathocharacterological reactions in some of them.

The first variation: primary psychopathological syndromes manifesting without any significant correlation with personality disorders and transform into pathocharacterological ones (neurotic, postreactive) personality development by means of "amalgamating" mechanism. The second variation: secondary (in regard to personality disorders) psychopathological phenomena forming on the basis of constitutional personality traits by means of "splitting off" mechanism and are defined as personality disorders with predisposition to manifest positive psychopathological symptomatology.
