On the basis of a prolonged follow-up of 319 patients with somatopsychic disturbances and 344 patients with psychosomatic abnormalities the authors have made a comparative analysis of the development of pathological states and efficacy of various therapeutic methods. The authors have established some general regularities and main differences in the formation of mental disorders and somatoneurological equivalents in the above types of pathology and ascertained major psychopathological symptom complexes. The main principles of the multiple modality therapy of somatopsychic and psychosomatic disturbances are outlined.
