Abstract

This article analyses the phenomenon of “abstruseness” from a psychological and psychiatric perspective. It presents differential diagnostic criteria and describes the features of the manifestation of abstruseness in the examined person, using the example of a clinical case of ten-year-old Sasha Shch. The conclusion is drawn that abstruseness can present itself both as a personal quality and as a psychopathological symptom attributed to the schizophrenic spectrum of mental disorders.
