Temperamental, characterological and motivational characteristics were studied in persons with compensation and decompensation, and comparison group. It is shown that during compensation of personality disorder the system of individuality is poorly differentiated and can be characterized as insufficiently adaptable. Poor differentiation of motivational sphere remains during decompensation of personality disorder; however the rest of the individuality system can be characterized as extremely unstable with the predominant role of formal-dynamic mechanisms.
