pubmed-article:8191687 | pubmed:abstractText | Forensic psychiatry deals with two forms of active psychogenic twilight states: pathological affect and "short-circuit" reaction. These forms have the similar clinical manifestation which is subdivided into three stages: preparatory, explosive and concluding. These two forms differ only during the preparatory stage and with the psychogenic character of action, being practically the same during the proper psychic episode and at the final stage of psychosis. As a rule it is possible to distinguish two scenarios of psychogenic twilight state: illusory psychosensory and affective motoric. | lld:pubmed |
