Representation of the sick are in the nature of adaptation to change their social role, which emphasizes the dissatisfaction with themselves, trying to find excuses to their position among other people, the fear of negative perspectives and attempts to resolve the crisis of identity. The article analyzes adaptive strategies of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in terms of the author's «disease situation» concept. The identified strategies are considered as an aspect of the subjective element of the «disease situation». The results can be used in rehabilitation practice.
