- Abstract
Reflection plays the leading part in the development of the internal world of man. It is the main psychological mechanism of consciousness of the personality and presents thinking aimed at the personality itself, own processes and own products. Reflection enables the personality to view itself as something independent in respect to the personality, i.e. as an object. Assessment of the defence behavior of infringers of the law allows an analysis of the reflective activity of man in mental health and disease. The investigation has shown that during the development of a psychotic state, the internal world of man under reflection experiences morbid transformation and acts as the main subjective material for formation of psychotic symptomatology. At the same time the latent deep structures of the personality experiencing a psychotic state acquire extreme expressiveness and brightness.
