Ethno-functional discrepancies in adolescents with somatic and neurological, and mental disabling diseases

Background. Ethno-functional discrepancies in attitudes toward groups of ethnic characteristics (climatic-geographical, biological-anthropological and sociocultural) make it possible to determine the degree of integration of ethno-functional elements of a person’s mental life in the social and objective reality of living space and the degree of mental maladjustment, thereby opening up prospects for conducting rehabilitation psychotherapeutic interventions, which is especially important for adolescents with disabilities. Purpose of the Study: to determine ethno-functional discrepancies in various ethnic groups of adolescents (Russians and Buryats) with somatic and neurological, and mental disabling diseases.
