N2  - Two criteria are suggested for estimating affective pathology in alcoholism: polarity and energetic saturation. The use of the two criteria demonstrates consistent dynamics of affective disorders associated with alcoholism: a decrease of the rate of the energetically saturated forms of the emotional manifestations (euphoria, anxiety), transformation of depressions and dysphorias to sluggish nonaggressive motively combined forms of the syndromes. The use of the psychological self-estimation test demonstrated a phenomenon of ambivalence of emotional experiences, coexistence of polar feelings which might explain specific characteristics of alcoholic patients' emotionality such as lability of the cerebral structures in alcoholism. Consistent dynamics of affective disorders and characteristic ambivalence of the emotional life may serve evidence for their specificity in alcoholism and do not prove the hypothesis that alcoholization is but a provoking factor of the preexistent emotional pathology.<p /> <p>Language: ru</p>
