Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to clarify certain personality traits in individuals in the norm and pathology in terms of social change. It is assumed that the radical social changes lead to the manifestation of a kind of "social schizophrenia", expressed in blurring the line between "normal" and "pathological." To prove this hypothesis were tested in 30 normal women and 30 women with schizophrenia between 25 - and 60 years of age. Minnesota test (MMPI) was used.
