[Problem of clinico-pathogenetic analysis and correction of behavior disorders in adolescents].

On the basis of integrated clinical, dynamic, and neurophysiological examinations of 542 children and adolescents with behaviour deviations a high (54.05%) percentage of psychic anomalies (primarily, characterological ones) was discovered. The structure of the delinquent behaviour was found to be the most complicated in children and adolescents taught at special schools for juvenile offenders. In adolescents registered at the Inspection on Minors' Affairs this structure was of a more isolated character. An important role of combinations of constitutional-biological, exogenous-organic, and negative microsocial factors in the genesis of the juvenile delinquency is demonstrated. Clinical and laboratory examinations of "difficult" adolescents with distinct neuropsychic disturbances revealed substantial shifts in their cortical neurodynamics and the functioning of chemoreactive systems. On the basis of the data obtained a complex of differentiated therapeutic and hygienic measures aimed at attaining a regression of the borderline personality pathologies has been developed.
