【 摘 要 】

Stable presence of drug-related disorders (primarily related to drinking) among most prevalent diseases in the population of the Russian Federation indicates the need to revise the diagnostic/therapeutic approaches employed in the specialized institutions of the Russian Ministry of Health. Considerable focus is on prevention and early detection of disorders of the above-mentioned type, especially among individuals from "the risk group" - e.g. those previously examined and found to be intoxicated. So far there hasn't been developed a unified approach to psychological examination of the clients visiting the out-patient department of the drug rehabilitation service and therefore there is an obvious need to establish such an approach. This article presents the analysis of possibilities for resolving the formulated problem by shifting the target of examination from the immediate state of mental activity (functions, processes) (as viewed mainly by means of differential diagnostics) to psychological characteristics which may be the cause of persistent addiction-related disorders in the future.
