Abstract
The results of examination of solitary elderly unadapted mental patients are given. Of great interest might be description of variants in loneliness taking by patients, which depend on nosologic forms of disease and social- psychological components of a patient state. In particular, it was definitely shown that the majority of schizophrenics took loneliness as a positive thing, while patients suffering organic lesions or maniac-depressive psychoses took it as a negative one. It is noted in the paper that such patients are all more or less unadapted socially and need a special complex reablement programme.
