72 schizophrenic patients were examined in terms of catamnestic analysis of pathological fantasy and metaphysical intoxication, joint into overvaluable inclination (drive) syndrome. The syndrome dynamics was observed in 36 cases and thus on this basis 6 variations were picked out. There were the following variations: delayed dynamics combined with psychic infantilism; conversion into overvaluable (paranoid) disturbances in "mosaic" psychopathic-like states structure; transition into overvaluable delirium; conversion into obsessions; transition into sexual delusion; and complication of overvaluable inclination because of pseudohallucinations, normal life as well as sexual disturbances addition.
