Abstract: The subject of the research is the attitude to a socially dangerous act (SDA) demonstrated by patients sick with schizophrenia who are in compulsory treatment. The authors view the attitude to the SDA by analyzing the components of such attitude, i.e. emotional, motivational-behavioral and cognitive aspects. The research focuses on efficient rehabilitation of schizophrenic patients who are held for compulsory treatment at psychiatric hospital. The aim of the research is to analyze peculiarities of the attitude to the socially dangerous act demonstrated by schizophrenic patients in compulsory treatment. The research methods include hermeneutical method that implies analysis of respondents' hospital charts and conversations with patients using a structured interview developed by the author according to the components of the attitude to the socially dangerous act. The authors process the results using the cluster analysis and association analysis based on Pearson's chi square in the STATISTICA 12.0 software. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors define peculiarities of schizophrenic patients' attitude to the SDA, offer their classification of attitudes to the socially dangerous act which allows to complete conceptual and methodological bases of the differential assessment and risk prediction for schizophrenic patients who have committed socially dangerous acts before and may commit them in the future. The classification offered by the authors include the following categories of patients: guilty of the SDA, not guilty of the SDA, was abusing alcohol or drugs at the moment of the SDA. The classification offers to better maintain psychological support of compulsory treatment for such patients. At the end of the article the authors conclude that it is very important to consider peculiar attitudes of schizophrenic patients to the socially dangerous act in order to maintain a steady remission and prevent the commitment of socially dangerous acts in the future.
