PATHOCHARACTER AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS IN PATIENTS OF A PLASTIC SURGEON AND A COSMETOLOGIST

The results of psychometric screening suggest that the patients of a plastic surgeon and a cosmetologist are characterized by demonstrative behavior, increased repressive capabilities, and rigidity and inertia of psychic processes with a long-term experience of traumatic events and a propensity to form overvalued ideas. At the same time, the cosmetic patients show a predominance of demonstrative and anxiety-phobic deviations and have extrovertedness, expressivity, emotional lability, and impulsivity; the plastic surgery patients are more prone to pedantic, sticking, and dysthymic accentuation, introversion, pedantry, isolation, and high self-control.
