Some questions of psychiatry and neurology in the story A. P. Chekhov's "Boring story"

Abstract

Features of creative method A.P. Chekhov found its reflection in a bizzare combination of literary character's personal chracteristics (a demonstrative and padantic personality), polymorphic clinical syndromes (a hypochondriac, depressive, somatic disease of uncertain origin), intricate life collisions (actually a lack of family, an excessively warm attitude of the foster daughter and trustee). Differential diagnostics of both personal chracteristics of the character, and had probabilistic and debatable nature.
