Paranoid disorder: the Soviet viewpoint

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.143.7.825

The Russian-language psychiatric literature on the paranoid disorders was reviewed for a recent 10-year period. The authors were from a variety of facilities and geographic locations. Bibliography references were primarily European, although 41% of the articles included references to American publications. The paranoid patient population was similar to that in the United States. There was extensive longitudinal study of the disorders; epidemiologic investigations, diagnostic classification, pharmacotherapy, treatment outcome, and etiologic theories allowed comparison with these issues in the United States.
