A social work specialist does not make a psychological diagnosis, but he can identify or use as supporting psychodiagnostic signs various personal disinhibitions and euphoric mood backgrounds, which reduce self-control and self-organization in the individual’s psyche relative to a static moment, in contrast to a psychological process that emphasizes dynamic moments; indicates the stability of psychic manifestations, their fixation and repetition. Manifestations of feelings (mood, affect, euphoria, anxiety, frustration), attention (concentration, absent-mindedness), will (determination, confusion, concentration), thinking (doubt), imagination (daydreams, fantasies) are included.
