NEW SEARCH OF TERMINOLOGY IN PSYCHIATRY

Abstract

Questions concerning validity of need to give psychological sense to the concept «hallucinatory delusion» and of need of observance of accuracy for psychiatric terminology are raised by the author in debatable article. Particularly the concept «pseudo-dementia» received unreasonable expansion; the term «iatrogeny» began to include «iatropathy». It is noted that there are attempts to make in psychiatric terminology «corrections». Some of them are based on special theoretical views of the authors, the other part - on disregard for the accuracy of the content of the formulations, as well as on the banal ignorance of certain provisions of the subject under discussion.
