Abstract: The article is devoted to the situation of sexual relations typical for Russian and foreign outcasts. The author of the article discusses social conditions (such as new communication media, hedonistic orientations, moral crisis and etc.) allowing them to sell their bodies and feelings and remain a usual member of a society at the same time. The author makes an assumption that many of them suffer from duality in personality and discusses evidences of this hypothesis. Even if their sexual relations are not pathological, marginal love has various and quite negative consequences for their intimate relations. This kind of ‘love’ stimulates the second personality and makes human live in his dream world because this kind of ‘love’ destroys usual intimate relations and life. The author also appeals to late Foucault’s views and touches upon the ethical issues arising in connection with this topic.

Abstract: The article continues the topic of Lacan’s teaching about mirror stage in the child development. The topic was started in our previous article devoted to Dolto. This time we’lltalk about how this topic was reflected in Wilfred Bion’s work. Wilfred Bion (1897-1979) was an English psychoanalyst, one of the ideological leaders of depth psychology. He expanded the concept of psychopathological mental processes. He wrote a lot about normal cogitation and as well as a range of emotional factors allowing to distinguish psychotic states from normal states of mind. The author of the article also stresses out the role of Melanie Klein in graining this concept.

Abstract: There is quite a common opinion that philosophical anthropology is closely connected with culture. It is no use to talk about human outside of culture. This assumption is partly true. However, culture defines a certain way of existence. Many experts in anthropology and culture do not set it as a goal to find out why human is this way, what his existential reality is like and where his determined originality is shown. Limitation of the human issue to description of culture would leave without attention the main side of the issue — what defines the inner culture of human.

Abstract: The author of the article views the culture in a narrow meaning of the word — as a system spiritualizing human. According to the author, there is no any abstract ‘world culture’ because it consists of a number of ethnocultures forming a well organized system. Traditional (ethnical) culture needs preservation as a social technology enabling achievement of personal integrity while globalization, being a typical feature of our modern civilization, gives birth to eclectic spiritless mass cult.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to study psychopathological peculiarities of endogen psychoses that affected 75 patients over 45 years old. The author studied a group of 75 patients who had endogen psychosis after they had turned 45 years old. As a result, the author described and analyzed the three main syndromes of late manifest psychoses: affective delusional, hallucinatory and delusional syndromes. Obtained data proved Romanova and Rostovtseva’s results of studying late schizophrenia saying that the main clinical disorder of the delusional hallucinatory syndrome was verbal hallucinations. Variants of development of psychopathological syndromes usually depend not only on the mechanism of delusion formation but also on different levels of mental disorders. The fact that the aforesaid syndromes have the same pattern in the study is caused by the age dependency — for elderly patients it is important to keep their achieved prosperity and somatic health. The practical value of the study is a proof that age-related vascular disorders of the brain actually influence the manifestation of endogen processes in all groups of syndromes. The fact that variants of development of syndromes do not depend on the age of patients once the syndrome was manifested creates grounds for a hypothesis that the syndrome development depends on premorbid peculiarities.
