tendency to argue Explanation: I'm semi-guessing as to what рассуждать would mean in this context, but arguing seems the more probably option. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2008-06-05 17:41:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- *probablE -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2008-06-05 17:59:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't know about that, it's listed as a known symptom in at least paranoid schizophrenia. http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:ldp8AwBn-UcJ:www.healths... There are plenty of other links. Signs/Symptoms Schizophrenia usually develops gradually, although onset can be sudden. Friends and family often notice the first changes before the victim does. Among the signs are: * Confusion * Inability to make decisions * Hallucinations * Changes in eating or sleeping habits, energy level, or weight * Delusions * Nervousness * Strange statements or behavior * Withdrawal from friends, work, or school * Neglect of personal hygiene * Anger * Indifference to the opinions of others * A tendency to argue * A conviction that you are better than others, or that people are out to get you http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:_a6OkT3heNoJ:www.signsof... |

tendency to engage in argumentation Explanation: ...suspicious attitude and tendency to engage in argumentation... I suppose it might have been "intricate argumentation" or something like that, but it would probably be going overboard to add a qualifier. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2008-06-05 18:27:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm just trying to think if the medical people use a technical term for this compulsive argumentation, or compulsive hyper-ratiocination (!), or whatever it might be. But I'm not aware of one. I mean what Olga said in her comment (which I saw after posting.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 57 mins (2008-06-05 18:33:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hey, "hyperratiocination" is a word! But, I found it in a description of Conan Doyle literary career, not psychiatry (though there may be some overlap): "The novel marks the beginning of the end of his hyperratiocination phase that had begun with the Sherlock Holmes tales..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-06-05 18:37:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Several psychology texts use "compulsive internal dialogue," but I don't know how "internal" the behavior your text describes is. "...tendency to engage in compulsive internal dialogue" sounds good, but may be too far afield. |
