RESUMEN
Clinical catamnestic and experimental psychologic techniques allowed the authors to single out a range of personality and psychosocial structures in patients with juvenile slow progredient neurosis-like schizophrenia with favorable outcome up to "virtual recovery". Influencing these structures with respect to the patients' age could promote their general and special activities, heighten their level and quality of adaptation to major spheres of social functioning. This provided a basis for establishing the major goals of social rehabilitative and psychic corrective aid to the juvenile patients.

On the basis of the results of an 18-26-year-long follow up of 100 patients with juvenile slowly progressive neurosis-like schizophrenia with an onset of the disease in youth the authors have identified a group of patients (n = 25) who presented practical cure. Comparison of the peculiarities of neurosis-like disturbances and their dynamics during the active stage of the disease in this group and in patients in whom stable neurosis-like manifestations persisted up to the late stages of the disease (n = 75) has made it possible to determine those types of neurosis-like states which correlate with the outcome of the disease. Some clinical and pathogenetic signs have been identified which help specify some aspects of the clinical and social prognosis.
