Summary/Abstract: The aim of the work was to evaluate the intensity of needs and other personality traits associ- ated with positive and negative attitudes to the others in men and women with various disorders in psychological functioning. The study project involved four groups: healthy persons, adult children of alcoholics (ACoAs), schizophrenic patients treated with classical neuroleptics and schizophrenic patients treated with atypical antipsychotic drug (R). The following research in- struments were used: MMPI, ACL and SAI. In healthy men it was found greater rebelliousness, stubbornness, lack of self-confidence, and they less take into account the beliefs and attitudes of others. In the group of ACoAs it was found that women more often than men describe their home and the atmosphere in it as unpleasant and express more hostility and aggression towards others. In the group of schizophrenic patients treated with classical neuroleptics greater intensity of n. Dominance, hostility and aggression was found in men than in women. In the group of schizophrenic patients treated with atypical drug R, the results were “atypical”: higher intensity of n. Dominance in women, and higher intensity of social dependence in men.
