For the first time at a population level (East-Ukrainian region) the Szondi portrait choices projective technique was applied. Stable faces acceptances and rejections of patients with certain behavioural deviations were found. Most of all positive reactions were demonstrated for faces of patients with mania and homosexuality disorders, negative — for faces of patients with catatonic schizophrenia. The most pronounced positive reactions related to the faces of homosexual people. There were found no sex and as a whole no age differences in faces perception of people with behavioural deviations. In some cases weak and moderate relationship in ill people faces perception in “parent-child” and “sibling-sibling” pairs was determined.
