Self-regulation of behavior as one of the adaptation-compensatory mechanisms of the psyche in patients with paranoid schizophrenia. Article 2

Abstract

The article discusses the features of the adaptive-compensatory mechanisms of the psyche in patients with paranoid schizophrenia through the prism of the interconnections of self-regulation of behavior with the level of subjective control and life-sense orientations. The data of modern studies of these psychological features in procedural patients are presented. Patients with paranoid schizophrenia (N=30) were examined and the results were compared with a control group of people who did not suffer from a mental disorder (N=30). Based on the results obtained, the targets of psychocorrectional impact on patients with schizophrenia were highlighted.
