[Clinical and psychological mechanisms involved in the formation of syndromes of delusional and overvalued constructions].

Aim: The identification of clinical-psychopathological and pathopsychological components involved in the formation of syndromes of delusional and overvalued constructions.
Material and Methods: Authors examined 93 subjects using experimental psychological techniques for detection of cognitive styles.
Results and Conclusion: A specific combination of phenomenological disorders and cognitive style characteristics in different types of delusional (sensual, imaginative and interpretive) and delusion-like (overvalued) states has been singled out. It has been shown that a specific combination of different cognitive-motivational controllers of intellectual process underlies the mechanisms of these disorders. It is a basis for the formation of specific structures of pathological personal meanings with the dominance of imaginative or ideational patterns or deformations of the semantic significance of the stimuli.
