Manilov I. Prognostication of Adolescents' Susceptibility Towards Psychotherapeutic Suggestive Action

The thesis is devoted to the prognostication of adolescents' susceptibility towards the psychotherapeutic suggestive action by means of the suggestibility clinical tests. The possibility of adolescents' susceptibility prognostics on the basis of different tests in visual, acoustic, scent, skin and motor systems is studied. A comparative analysis for the adolescents abusing toxic substances and those from the target (normal) group is carried out. The age dynamics in suggestibility is investigated, and the influence of adolescents' sex upon their susceptibility towards suggestion is determined. Suggestibility vs. the level of situation and personal anxiety, accentuation, neurotism, extraversion and self-appraisal is studied. The influence of adolescents' mental states upon their sensibility towards the clinical tests on suggestibility is investigated.
