The Orphanage Method

The Sirotinin method is a method developed by the Soviet pathophysiologist Nikolai Nikolaevich Sirotinin. He was born in 1896 and became one of the leading scientists in the field of pathophysiology.

Sirotinin was known for his research in the field of physiology and pathology of the nervous system. He developed a method for determining the level of activity of the nervous system, which was called the “Sirotinin method”. This method made it possible to assess the state of the nervous system and identify possible disturbances in its functioning.

Sirotinin's method is based on measuring the electrical activity of the brain using electroencephalography. It has been used to diagnose various nervous system diseases such as epilepsy, depression, schizophrenia and others.

In addition, the Sirotinin method was used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of various diseases of the nervous system. For example, it could be used to determine how successful treatment is for Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease.

Thus, the Sirotinin method is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. Its use allows you to more accurately assess the patient’s condition and choose the most effective treatment.



The Sirotinin Method is an idea proposed by the Soviet pathophysiologist N. N. Sirotinin that in the initial stages of the disease, all body functions retain their normality, but they are disorganized and impaired. This method was described in one of the articles by N.N. Sirotin “On the Beginning of the Illness” (1938).

The essence of the method is **comparing a normal organism with a disoriented organism**. The starting point is the statement that normally organs and systems function like parts of a complex mechanism, in which each individual system works “completely independently” and does not affect the activities of other systems. However, with illness, these actions may change. That is, there is an image of ideal functionality achieved in a healthy state, which, in pathology, changes its sequence or “shifts.” If the patient is healthy, the activity of various organs occurs consistently and in a balanced manner. But if the pathology appears suddenly, the activity of several organs goes beyond normal limits, which leads to a disruption in the sequence of actions. This “violation of order” is the main violation in disorganism. The Sirotinins are confident that the diagnosis of the disorder is accurate only until obvious symptoms of the disease appear. Each symptom indicates illness, but the appearance of such a symptom indicates only when the disorientation is at its most pronounced. These signals can only be noticed if a person consults a doctor when he is at the last stage of the disease. It is **the appearance of signs of the disease** that becomes the starting point - the beginning of the disease. The method also allows you to determine the stage of an incipient disease based on the identification of five stages: * The first stage is normal, * The second stage includes several relatively independent pathologies, * The third stage combines pathological processes that arose between stages 2 and 3, * The fourth - signs that are developing with prolonged disruption of homeostasis,



Sirotinin Method (Sirotin) is a neurophysiological method and a famous pathphysiologist. He developed methods for studying pain and psychogenic disorders. His work was very important for studying the perception of mental processes. At one time, he developed a method for recording the movements of the sense organs. Thus, he was a pioneer in the field of behavior analysis.

Sirotinin was born in 1986. Graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of Ulyanovsk University. He took part in many studies concerning not only physiology, but also human genetics. Now he is a professor at Moscow State Medical University. Sechenov, works as the head of the laboratory at the Pavlov Research Institute of Normal Physiology.

He began his career working with Olga Vekhter in psychiatry. Olga Vekhter was a famous Soviet psychotherapist and founder of the Institute of Psychology at Moscow State University. Working with Olga, Sirotinin developed his own method, which was called “SYNROM”, thanks to which he was able to study the psychogenic phenomena of the nervous system and much more. He used this method in his further research.

During his scientific activity, Sirotinii developed and implemented a number of methods for determining the sensitivity and recognition of organic diseases, as well as methods for psychophysiological research on diseases and mental disorders caused by them, which at one time represented a major breakthrough in science. The works of N.N. Sirotin were distinguished by innovation and boldness of judgment, great erudition and depth of philosophical generalizations.

Thanks to his scientific and practical work, it becomes possible to form an understanding of the life of the human body in the light of holistic knowledge. This will help more thoroughly and effectively diagnose and correct pathological conditions of a person, based on established patterns of functioning of his numerous organs and systems. Based on the results of these studies, a proposal was made to introduce mandatory psychological testing of students to identify possible neurotic disorders that affect the academic performance and socialization of children. N.N. Sirotina, together with R.F. Khasanov, D.L. Kavashin, I.Ya. Sashin, prepared the Federal Test of School Crisis Conditions, created for the first time in world practice. As a result, training programs were created for doctors and psychologists for the rehabilitation and psychoprophylaxis of the child’s emotional state.
