The article deals with the axiological and modal parameters of the evaluation of a woman as a personality as a speaker of the beautiful sex of mankind with the help of characterizing means of language: aphorisms of various types, winged sayings, proverbs, sayings, etc. It is proved that a woman is the engine of progress, the basis and cause of all that happens in society, as well as the object of love and a doration. A woman is perceived and evaluated by the following parameters: appearance;as an object of love and deifi cation; manner of behavior, due to features of the character and properties of the psyche; as a guardian of the home hearth; female luck; role in society. In the circle of aphoristic expressions and winged expressions associated with the fi rst position in this series of categorical features, two subgroups are clearly distinguished: a) not personifi ed, the general characteristic of a woman as a generalized subject; b) a personifi ed score having its addressee and that, due to the accuracy and expressiveness of its verbalization, became a winged one. In all the variety of phraseological units (idioms, phrases, proverbs, sayings, aphorisms, linguistic stamps, winged sentences and literary citations), as well as in units of text, the image of the beautiful sex of mankind in different times and epochs is drawn up, fi xed and preserved for the descendants. In them, the characteristic features of a woman are refl ected not only in general sense content, but also in the features of its individual mental system, magnetized by emotions and intentions, as well as its value relation to the surrounding and to itself. Verbal complexes of different types verbalize the image of women as a source and carrier of forming tendencies of general cultural and social development through the prism of national-cultural specifics.

During the Hellenistic period the value of philosophical systems was to be judged by a meta-philosophical criterion, i.e., by their ability to lead practitioners towards the pursuit of good or happiness, albeit treating pain and sorrow, since all human beings are supposed to be able to reach the state of happiness via their own efforts. By emphasizing the role of thoughts or judgments, Stoics placed cognition in the intermediate phase between an event and the reaction that somebody has due to the event, rendering it both the cause and the cure of emotional disorders. This viewpoint is also fundamental in modern cognitive psychotherapy, although the parallelism goes beyond theory to the practical character in both approaches. Rational and non-rational aspects of human psychology cannot be isolated from each other, allowing thus adults to actively engage in their moral development by altering their beliefs. In this frame, cognitive distancing, the practice of awareness, attention to the present moment, and the Socratic dialogue become valuable tools in structuring emotional self-regulation.

Encounters with interior spaces are influenced by past experiences and state of mind. Much of how architecture is experienced therefore is not readily apparent and is sensed rather than seen. Psyche impacts this experience of lived space, from an individual’s awareness of themselves within it, to the perception of space itself. Film offers a distinctive representation of this subjective experience through its narrative form and command of visual, audio and temporal language. The emotive and visceral power of film render it an accessible and immersive medium, and as such make it uniquely placed to communicate less tangible qualities of space and character. This paper analyses the use of interior space in the film Joker (Todd Phillips, 2019). The acutely intimate discernment of the protagonist’s interior environment is the result of environmental and psychological disruption, where boundaries break down between the real and imaginary, and the surreal intrudes upon the tangible depiction of the interior. The exposition of the character’s damaged psyche within space is analysed at key points within the narrative, using collage as an exploratory, visual methodology to analyse and experiment with, to potentially reveal the less perceivable, yet invasive intangible layers of lived space. This article addresses the frequent oversight of psychological qualities of the interior in architectural discourse, through an analytical and experimental method rendering the psychological content of space visible. Defining this intangible nature of architecture as the psychosphere (or the psychological atmosphere), I term this technique the ‘psychospheric collage method’. The process consists of interrogating expressive film language and content through an architectural lens documented through sketching, storyboarding and textual enquiry. From these fragmented components I compose a new visual language capable of signifying the layered psychological atmosphere in which a character resides, thus facilitating its consideration within architectural design and enabling articulation of our intimate encounter with the interior.

El trabajo que se presenta a continuación considera la comprensión antropológica del hombre en la unidad entre alma y cuerpo propuesta por Santo Tomás de Aquino como unidad substancial. Intenta ser un aporte filosófico para que tanto la filosofía como la psicología se puedan apropiar del pensamiento del Aquinate, quien presenta al hombre como un “ser” en Unidad Substancial. Su antropovisión substancialista de carácter ontológico puede favorecer un diálogo enriquecedor con las diversas posturas psicológicas que explican una parte del hombre y su conducta. El puesto que Santo Tomás asigna al hombre en el universo es central. Él es el microcosmos, no es ni solo cuerpo ni sola alma, sino más bien un cuerpo informado por el alma espiritual como su forma substancial. Desde esta teoría se logra una comprensión del hombre que supera al dualismo y al pluralismo, perspectivas de la explicaciones antropológicas actuales. La propuesta psicoanalítica, conductista, del construccionismo y otras posiciones en la psicología han procurado una comprensión antropológica mediada por sus postulados, sin que ello genere una comprensión unitaria del hombre y lo vincule directamente con la búsqueda de su identidad teniendo como elemento articulador el psiquismo, concepto que integra elementos internos y externos del hombre. La propuesta que se desarrolla en este trabajo establece un diálogo entre la postura tomista y las corrientes actuales en torno a la comprensión psíquica del hombre The work presented below considers the anthropological understanding of man in the unity between soul and body suggested by St. Thomas Aquinas as a substantial unit. It tries to be a philosophical contribution so that both philosophy and psychology can appropriate Aquinas’s thought, who presents man as a “being” in Substantial Unity. His substantialist anthropological vision of an ontological nature can favour an enriching dialogue with the various psychological postures that explain a part of man and his behaviour. The place that St. Thomas assigns to man in the universe is central. Man is the microcosm, he is neither only body nor single soul, but rather a body informed by the spiritual soul as its substantial form. From this theory, an understanding of man is achieved that surpasses dualism and pluralism, perspectives of current anthropological explanation. The psychoanalytic, behavioural, constructionist proposal and other positions in psychology have sought an anthropological understanding mediated by its postulates, without generating a unitary understanding of man and linking him directly with the search for his identity having as an articulating element psychism as a concept that integrates internal and external elements of man. The proposal establish a dialogue between Thomistic posture and current currents around man’s psychic understanding.

The objective of psychoanalysis is to help the analysand make the contents of his or her psyche conscious to him- or herself In this paper, the author identifies four tools central in the attempts to reach this goal: (1) the analysand's self- observation; (2) the analyst's assistance in identifying the obstacles to self-observation (i.e., resistance analysis); (3) the analysand's bringing unconscious contents into the sphere of self-observation with the help of the analyst's interpretations; (4) turning the analysand's tendency to account for the listener into an object of self-observation (i.e., the analysis of transference). Of these tools, the first is regarded as the most fundamental; all methodological instruments used in psychoanalysis aim at enhancing the scope of the analysand's self-observation. Some difficulties in keeping this aim are identified, and the analysand's autonomy in this work is pointed out, leading to the conclusion that the analysand never becomes changed in an analysis; the analy...

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of legal values, their classification. Analysis of legal literature led to the conclusion that legal values are considered only in line with legal positivism, which have a faade in relation to the subject of law. According to the author, anthropological approaches - classical, non-classical and post-non-classical - can become a milestone in a conceptually different understanding of the values of law. In this regard, the purpose of the paper is to conduct a study of the values of law in line with anthropological research programs. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were set: 1) to describe the classical (neoclassical), non-classical and post-non-classical anthropological programs; 2) to formulate the concept of legal values and truth within the framework of three paradigms of legal thinking; 3) to classify and rank the values of law. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were made: The legal value in the classical (neoclassical) anthropological paradigm lies in the safe-guarding and protection of inviolability of the biopsychophysiological integrity of the organism, which identifies an individual as a physical person. Therefore, the law has an objectified and alienated from the individual subject character. The value of law in non-classical anthropological discourse is imperative-attributive experiences (legal psyche) or intentional acts of consciousness that constitute legal reality, with which a person is identified - a legal personality. The post-non-classical model of cognition is focused on the discovery of the true essence of a person through identification with a legal being (or pure consciousness), which is an absolute value and creator of transpersonal and extra-social legal reality.

Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytical theories may be helpful to the analysis of literary works since the contribution of psychoanalysis to literature provides useful interpretative insights. Reading novels, poems and other compositions through the lens of psychoanalysis gives the opportunity to analyse and evaluate these works in their genesis and functioning. The Gothic novel provides many elements such as fear, duplicity, abuse of power and seduction that can be explained according to a Freudian model of literary criticism. In this paper, the personality of Ambrosio, the main character of the Gothic novel The Monk, is investigated with reference to Freud theories concerning the structural or tripartite structure of the mind which conceives the psyche as divided into three parts: Id, Ego and Super-ego. For this purpose, a critical analysis of the text of the novel has been made so to identify all those elements (behaviour, attitudes, emotional reactions, thoughts and utterances) connected to Ambrosio which may illustrate the hidden aspects of his personality and, moreover, explain the reasons of his moral decline. Key words: Freud, Ego, Id, Super-ego, The Monk, Gothic novel.

The study aimed to examine the concept of psyche according to the Qur’an. By using content analysis in accordance with the qualitative research pattern, the Qur’an was read and themes were created. The themes are birds on the four mountains, the soul that comes with a driver and a witness, building a friendship with Satan, the soul that comes with a guardian and a observer, building a friendship with God, there is a tremendous trial from your God. In findings, fıtrat or genesis or human nature in the Qur’an means psyche. The psyche compartments are soul, spirit, heart, friend, ego. In the Qur’an, the soul is nefis. The character is the friend. The heart is the driver for the infidel’s psyche. The heart is the guardian for the muslim’s psyche. The ego is the witness for the infidel’s psyche. The ego is the observer for the muslim’s psyche. Spirit is the source of vitality and is not responsible for the trial in this world. The psyche compartments are the basis for life, death and resurrection. Therefore, they are effective in the formation of emotions, thoughts and behaviors. The psyche compartments will help us at caring, at disease diagnosis, at treatment and in understanding of the human.

This article offers a new interpretation of Apuleius’ story of Cupid and Psyche. Most scholars have previously offered a second-time reading of this story, according to which the reader reaches Book 11 and then looks back at Psyche's story of fall and redemption as a parallel for Lucius’ life. Following Graverini's and other scholars’ emotional approach to theMetamorphoses, I argue that the ecphrasis of Cupid's palace within the story of Cupid and Psyche includes multiple re-enactments of the novel's prologue. These re-enactments invite the reader to undertake a first-time and immersive reading of this story, which focusses on Psyche's experience of Cupid and her reaction to his epiphany. In its use of immersion, this article draws from recent developments in cognitive narratology and pushes scholars of Apuleius to focus on the reader's immersive and emotional response in order to reassess the value of a second-time reading of theMetamorphoses.

Introduction. The relevance of the study consists in the issue of maintaining mental health, which occupies an increasingly important place in the context of the humanization of society nowadays. There is a necessity not only to prevent the occurrence of mental disorders in the general population but also to promote mental health through the facilitation and interaction of individuals in various interpersonal relationships. Considering the natural laws of the human psyche as a system with the abilities of self-organization and self-development, facilitation becomes possible due to the special nature of interpersonal interaction. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider the features and phenomena of facilitation in interpersonal parent-child relationships and professional-role relationships: teacher-student, psychotherapist-client, the relationships as means of supporting and promoting the functioning of the communicator psyche, maintaining its systemic characteristics as an open dynamic biological system with a feedback feature. Purpose of the article is to analyze the possibilities and obstacles of using methods and techniques of facilitation to ensure the mental hygiene of interpersonal relationships; to present facilitation as the ability to form, maintain, preserve the mental health of communication subjects; to consider facilitation as means to form sanogenic potential of personality, which is manifested not only in the protection and preservation of mental health but also in the ability to self-realization, creativity, self-development, self-regulation, etc., as well as in high-stress resistance and the ability to adapt to different life circumstances. It is about interpersonal relations between participants of social and psychological interaction where one of them is the subject of influence, and the other is the object of influence: parent-child, teacher-student, psychotherapist-client, еtc. Methods. Leading research methods are analysis and synthesis of theoretical concepts, modern developments in practical psychology and psychotherapy, scientific developments on the phenomenon of facilitation in interpersonal relationships, including pedagogical facilitation, materials of supervisions with factual, empirical materials, webinars, and presentations of modern leading experts in the theory of object relationships, trauma therapy, psychodrama therapy, for in-depth consideration of psyche phenomena, its systemic properties, and characteristics of the functioning laws, ontogenesis, interpersonal interaction, and influence. Originality. The scientific originality and practical significance of the study lie in the fact that interpersonal relationships are considered from the angle of their facilitation, focusing on maintaining and forming a healthy functioning of the individual’s psyche with emphasis on its natural systemic qualities associated with self-programming, self-organization, self-development. It demonstrates the high responsibility of participants of interpersonal interactions, such as parent-child, teacher-student, psychotherapist-client relationships because of impact on the mental activity of the subject’s personality, which leads to distortions in self-adjusting, self-regulatory mechanisms of the psyche in case of wrong, stressful, nonhygienic influence. In case of insufficient subtle sensitivity of the mother in the mother-child relationships, when there is a high level of the child's needs frustration and a lot of stressful situations, the mental tools of the psyche, which include correlation and interactions between cognitive-emotional, motivational-regulatory processes, reflection, mentalization, the symbolization of experience, the image of itself and other people, could be distorted. It leads to the distortion of self-other relationships, as in the case of narcissistic personality disorders, the interpretation and understanding of which is presented from the angle of the problem of attachment and protective mechanisms violation, developmental traumas. The article presents an understanding of the theoretical justifications for the facilitation of interpersonal relationships, neurobiological, neurophysiological correlates with the phenomena of facilitation and inhibition in interpersonal relationships. The practical results of the facilitation application are described through the interaction of the teacher with students during classes and the interaction of psychotherapists and clients during consultations. Conclusion prospects for further research. In the facilitation interactions of teacher-student were phenomena of positive subjective feeling of comfort, freedom, creative activity, expansion of consciousness in general with the production of new thoughts, views, formation and assimilation of new knowledge, etc. in both participants of communicative interaction – students and teacher. The facilitation interaction of the Ph.D. student as a specialist-psychologist with the client was realized due to deep empathic penetration into the inner world of the client with narcissistic disorder and effective professional work. A further perspective of research is the task of disseminating the experience of facilitation interaction for different types of interpersonal relationships, developing programs and methodological support for purposefully organized training in methods and techniques of facilitation as a means of maintaining the hygienic nature of various interpersonal relationships.

Introduction. The problem of post-traumatic stress disorder has been raised by the war in Ukraine. It develops in people who have survived traumatic events, most often in combat and has a significant impact on the psyche of the serviceman as in combat they are affected by powerful traumatic factors that lead to shortening life prospects, constant intensification of combat stress. Unfortunately, at present, the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not have a guiding document that clearly spells out the algorithm for diagnosing PTSD in servicemen after participating in Operation Allied Forces (hereinafter - Joint Forces), taking into account the prolongation of PTSD. Purpose. Carry out a theoretical analysis of scientific sources on the research problem, generalize the experience of organizing and diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder in servicemen after returning from the area of environmental protection and develop "Algorithm for diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorder in military. Methods. To perform the objectives of the study, we used the analysis of scientific and pedagogical sources, comparisons, generalizations, systematization, surveys, statistical methods of qualitative and quantitative processing of the data. Originality. The scientific novelty lies in the theoretical substantiation of the algorithm for the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder in servicemen after returning from the area of the Joint Forces Operation, taking into account the time dynamics of PTSD. Conclusion. Thus, in our opinion, the application of the proposed Algorithm for diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorders in servicemen after participation in environmental protection will allow to better diagnose the presence of mental problems in combatants. Summing up, we can draw the following conclusions: ‒ first, officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, medical workers, psychologists and other officials involved in rehabilitation activities must have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience in diagnosing PTSD in servicemen after participating in environmental protection. ‒ secondly, the effectiveness of psychological diagnosis will be determined by the timeliness, consistency and succession of diagnostic measures; ‒ thirdly, taking into account the peculiarities of the proposed methods for diagnosing PTSD, which arose as a result of post-traumatic events will provide an opportunity to organize timely and effective psychological assistance to the affected personnel. Promising areas of research on the issues raised may be: further development and justification of innovative forms and methods for diagnosing post-traumatic stress disorders in personnel after participation in environmental protection.

Totalitarianism and its philosophical, sociological, and psychological aspects are a subject matter of a substantial first part of the article. The second part of the article is more specific, as it demonstrates the goals and the course of the so-called “normalization” on the example of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, Prague. A great deal of attention is devoted to the phenomenon of fear, which is a fundamental prerequisite of totalitarian systems. Further, it is pointed out that even democratic regimes possess some totalitarian elements, which has been pointed out already by Alexis de Tocqueville, the French historian who personally studied the nascent democratic regime in the 19th century in the United States. Among de Tocqueville’s merits are the first attempts to define the nature of democratic despotism. Democratic despotism is defined in terms of destruction of the human psyche, resignation to the exercise of one’s free will, and such additional character traits, as the tendency to quietism (calm acceptance of things as they come). The following, relatively extensive part, is devoted to values. The explanation of values is based primarily on a publication by the Brno lawyer Vladimir Cermak. Logically, the values of freedom, equality, and justice receive the main attention. The philosophical perspective of the article is represented by the views of the philosopher Ladislav Tondl. The first part of the article is concluded by an overview of methods which psychologists and sociologists use to empirically assess value orientations.The second part of the article deals with a thorough socio-cultural analysis of the so-called “normalization” period (1969–1989). Its analysis has been recently carried out by young historians of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University and it resulted in a book listed in the References. In this Summary, the author considers it important to share the main message resulting from the analysis: Normalization resulted in the debilitation of “the fundamental ability of the intellectuals, i.e., of the ability to form generalized views, which could act as a counterpoint to the naturally (technocratic) discourse of the majority of political elites.” Thus, normalization succeeded in one of its main goals, i.e., not only to discredit but also to undermine the public intellectuals. The political change, brought about by the revolutionary year of 1989, did not take away from normalization accomplishment. That is one of the reasons why even two decades after the democratic Velvet Revolution, the dominant thought patterns in the Czech society still manifest a significant continuity with the preceding totalitarian period.”

The paper analyzes the legal mechanism for issuing permits for the acquisition and possession of civilian weapons, defines the role of legal restrictions, including medical contraindications, in the state licensing and permitting policy. Based on the analysis of the reasons and conditions for deviant behavior with weapons, motives of crimes with the use of civilian weapons, it is concluded that the methods used to identify medical contraindications to the acquisition and possession of weapons are ineffective, and the list of contraindications is inadequate. The author provides a criminal law concept for assessing the impact of mental disorder on the assessment of behavioral risks. The author puts forward hypotheses about the need to take into account the propensity to violence, aggression, depression, suicidal manifestations, as well as the lack of formation of the regulatory mechanisms of the psyche when making a conclusion about the absence of medical contraindications to the possession of civilian weapons. The proposed amendments to the legislation on weapons will make it possible to identify and promptly prevent deviant, including suicidal, behavior of the owners of civilian weapons. The paper analyzes the existing methods and the choice of formalized psychodiagnostic techniques. It is proposed to use psychophysiological examinations to make informed conclusions about the absence of medical contraindications for using a weapon.

This article characterizes the world view of Jungian psychology based on the concept of unus mundus. A sample with articles by Jung, his commentators and authors of Quantum Physics was analyzed using Jungian hermeneutics. The results were organized according to the following analysis categories: “the invisible plane underlying the empirical level of reality as totality and unity”, “the invisible plane as the source of creation and movement”, “the invisible plane as marked by non-locality” and “the psyche and the invisible plane.” The main conclusion that can be drawn is one of a worldview in which the empirical reality is seen as grounded in an implied/invisible order which is considered to be a source of creation, movement, unity, non-causal connection and unconditioned by time and space. Archetype is considered a “bridge” between the psyche and the invisible order, and synchronicity as evidence of this connection.

Organizations seeking to adopt a sustainable approach to people management need to pay particular attention to how their work environments impact employees’ wellbeing. Combining the disciplines of psychology and sustainable human resource management, this study explores the relationship between situational stimuli and wellbeing by examining how workplace structures impact employees’ emotions and behavior at work. Using a survey design, data from a sample of 408 New Zealand employees split across competitive and collaborative service environments are analyzed to see how these influence the ubiquitous, yet discreet emotion of workplace schadenfreude. Results show that while competitive structures increase prevalence of workplace schadenfreude – taking pleasure from a colleague’s misfortune – this does not appear to encourage antisocial work behaviors. How employees appraise the schadenfreude situation, as well as their national psyche, are possible factors influencing this outcome. This paper discusses these findings, along with their theoretical and practical implications and directions for future research.

This paper describes common Sufi beliefs regarding dreams and shrines in Palestine during the 20th century. These beliefs developed during joint and private seasonal visits (ziara). Gaining insight into the sociology of the Sufi cult of saints can enrich our understanding of similar cults in other places and shed light on the reasons for their absence in other societies. The research examines the phenomenon of true dreams at saints’ shrines, and explores the historical and contemporary scope of dream pilgrimages to these shrines. Ceremonies that involve visiting saints’ shrines have encouraged socio-cultural and psychological-therapeutic dependence of the pilgrims with regard to these shrines. This dependence relationship is deeply rooted in their collective psyche and reinforced and legitimized through Palestinian folklore. This paper is based on primary and secondary sources, interviews with Sufi and people who have been active in participating in these rituals, as well as archival and documentary material, a review of published and unpublished materials, books, and scientific journals.

In the article, the authors analyze the results of numerous studies in the field of perinatal psychology, indicating the importance of the prenatal period in the formation of the human psyche. Also, the authors of the publication, for the first time, substantiate arguments about the direct influence of factors acting on a child in the perinatal period of development on the entire subsequent dynamics of his mental and personal development. In particular, a hypothesis is argued about the existing connection between the unwillingness of having a child and antisocial behavior in adolescence. In the work, it is noted that the knowledge obtained as a result of research in the sphere of influence of the perinatal period on the formation of a person's personality is of practical use in that at the prenatal stage of life they provide an opportunity to determine psychosomatic disorders in an infant that can complicate his life, and, if necessary, take preventive measures aimed at improving the mental health of pregnant women. Also, there is every reason to support scientists in their assertion that the presented observations seem to be very important for criminological research. With serious arguments, the authors of the study note that among those convicted of murder and causing grievous bodily harm, there are many who are characterized by a state of tension, often close to paranoid. The findings of the researchers presented in the work give every reason to assert that the inappropriate behavior of the mother in the prenatal period, her emotional reactions to stress, which our life is saturated with, are the cause of not only a huge number of such postpartum conditions of the child as neuroses, anxiety, various allergies, mental retardation or other forms of pathology, but can also have criminologically significant consequences. This tension is often promoted by the commission of violent actions, that is, such states are one of the essential elements of the internal psychological mechanism of criminal behavior". The authors come to the conclusion that the study of the factors acting on the child during the perinatal period of development is a necessary prerequisite for understanding the reasons leading to the formation of deviant behavior in him in later life.

La relación entre el cuerpo y la mente ha sido y es un dilema que persiste hasta hoy tras siglos de continua discusión. Tanto los filósofos como los médicos han expuesto y defendido diversas teorías sobre este tema, planteando infinidad de interrogantes y varias escuelas de pensamiento que buscan dar respuesta al problema. Esta investigación se basa en la pregunta: Si entendemos los orígenes de la relación entre cuerpo y mente, ¿encontraríamos las soluciones en la neurociencia y la neurofilosofía?. Se estudia la etimología de los términos, principalmente los prefijos “neuros” y “psique”, para ahondar en la concepción cartesiana de la res cogitans y la res extensa. A partir de los siete pasos de la investigación filosófica, el presente ensayo propone dilucidar la esencia de este problema científico y filosófico, contrastando el dualismo y el monismo, considerando los niveles material y espiritual, y endosando el concepto de que la mente es un producto del cerebro.

This paper follows the ongoing discussion with philosopher and psychoanalyst Jon Mills (2020) regarding the nature, origin, and essence of the archetype and psyche, in which my approach that incorporates key features of the philosophy of mind is being compared and contrasted with Mills’ onto-phenomenal approach. Both Mills and I come at this question from very different backgrounds, making interdisciplinary work challenging but rewarding. In this paper I will attempt to start from Mills’ foundational position to bridge the two frameworks together.

The article focuses on stories, revealing personal experiences related to the technology-mediated education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and storytelling as a tool in qualitative research. Stories and storytelling may play an important part in qualitative research through presenting a unique, subjective view, which may contribute to the universal perspective. The transition to online teaching has been related to the pandemic, that constitutes a traumatic experience, generating further difficult experiences of an individual nature, which need to be told and shared. That is why, the research through storytelling in the context of the transition to online reality, caused by the pandemic seems to be adequate. Stories as natural phenomena to the human psyche and everyday existence may provide an interesting insight into online teaching, which might have been lost in the limitations of other research tools. © 2021 Faculty of Humanities, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University Press.

The article is devoted to the problem of developmental effects of the pedagogical process in educational institutions. It is noted that ensuring the development of the child in the learning process involves the definition of proper developmental effects (as opposed to pedagogical), which are taken as the basis for setting its specific purpose, designing appropriate content, methods and organizational forms of work - the components of the pedagogical system. Developing effects differ from pedagogical effects proper - knowledge and ways of actions (abilities and skills) mastered by students, provided by educational programs; such effects are defined by concepts and filled with the content of development, its components and characteristics. The article examines the essence of psychological development as a basic concept for understanding the problem posed, in the procedural and substantive aspects. Particular attention is paid to the disclosure of the most important laws and characteristics of development, the knowledge of which is important to consider in the pedagogical process. In particular, the position of development in the form of phylogenies and ontogenesis, which include biological and social components, is disclosed. Such characteristics of development as: differentiation, integration, heterochronicity, compensation of functions, as well as irreversibility, progress and regress, zigzag-like and others are considered. There is a position on development as a result of interiorization of the exterior and exteriorization of the interior; human activity is viewed as a necessary condition of development - performance and mastery of activity according to the structure and given characteristics in specially organized conditions; internal contradictions are defined as driving forces of development. The age-related aspect of development is also touched upon, with its most important foundations in age-specific periodization. It is noted that the effects of development at certain age stages must be considered in accordance with age-specific norms of manifestation. The article states that in the pedagogical process it is also important to take into account the knowledge regarding the features and possibilities of the formation of specific psychological phenomena in a particular category of children, according to their essence. Such phenomena are defined and specified based on the structure of the psyche, the most important components of which include psychological processes (cognitive and emotional-volitional), personal properties and personality as a whole, their components and characteristics. It is noted that the forms of human activity (activity, communication and behavior, taking into account their structure, completeness of characteristics, and, in particular, arbitrariness) in which the psyche is born, manifests, functions and develops should also be considered as important developmental effects.

In this article, the object of research is the military personnel as a system, and the subject of research is the synergetic property of the system, namely the social psyche. The main objective of the study is to quantitatively describe the system microstatuses (the number of system elements, the maximum number of servicemen included in closed separate communication streams, the total number of these streams). At the macrolevel, a measure of the statistical uncertainty of the social psyche is calculated as a synergistic property of the system. The sociometry method (D.L. Moreno), graph theory and the algorithm for calculating Hamiltonian paths (N. Christophides) are used to identify any military personnel included in closed communication streams. Boltzmann's method of calculating the entropy is used as the initial entropy formula. As a result of the study, recommendations are obtained for restructuring the leadership style, using the tendencies towards organization and disorganization in the personnel making. The novelty of the article lies in formulating the problem of determining the measure of the statistical uncertainty of the social psyche, in proving the significance of the natural scientific approach in describing and identifying the elements of the system (military personnel) and in the quantitative description of the synergetic phenomena of a social group.

Adolescence, the period from 11 to 21 years of age, bridges the chasm between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence can be challenging as bodies, cognition, and personality go through major transformations, but it is also a time of great joy as confident adults with a clear identity develop. Dentists need to be knowledgeable about the developmental characteristics of this group because some of the cognitive and emotional changes make adolescents vulnerable to new fears. Dentists must tailor behavior guidance to this developing psyche in a way that respects independence and promotes confidence to foster lifelong positive views of dentistry.

Relevance. The solution of all other problems of scientific psychology depends on the solution of the problem of the nature and evolution of the psyche. In post- Vygotsky activity psychology, the notion of affect was not at the forefront. Objective: To continue the study of the psyche as a form of affective activity begun by Vygotsky. Methodology and methods: The principle of activity and the cultural-historical approach in human psychology. Results of the research: Following Spinoza and Vygotsky, adopting affect as the “alpha and omega” of mental life, the author traces the initial stages of mental evolution in the process of subject activity. Phase analysis of this cyclical process allows us to determine the specificity of mental activity. The psyche is defined as an affect-inducing reflection of activity on its subject. The cellular form of mental activity, affect, is a state of the acting body, due to which the activity potential of the body, i.e. the level of motivation and the assortment of activity schemes, increases or decreases. The simplest affect is desire; in the process of subject activity, desire performs an orientation function and turns into the affects of pleasure or dissatisfaction, the “primary forms of purely mental behavior”, according to Vygotsky. Considered from the objective side, in relation to the object of perception, affect acts as an image of the senses. In relation to the subject of perception, the same affect appears as an emotion. As mental activity develops, its cognitive and emotional, and its subject and reflexive sides become differentiated. With regular repetition, action becomes automatic: the pattern of activity is fixed in the structure of the body, and the affective orienting reaction is replaced by the reflexive one. Affects arise and function at the “creative” pole of divided activity – in situations when a new scheme of activity needs to be developed or a previously acquired one needs to be corrected. They signal a change in the external conditions of activity, triggering a search-oriented reaction. The article provides evidence that conditionally reflex activity is derived from mental activity and gives a critique of the concept of the orienting reflex

The article compares views of C.G. Jung and N.O. Lossky on the nature of time, including in the context of contemporary to them physical theories - quantum mechanics by W. Pauli and relativistic physics by A. Einstein. In particular, the author points to the similarity of ideas of both thinkers that the psyche relativizes time not only subjectively, but also objectively. Jung and Lossky provide this statement with a similar empirical basis, for example, the researches of T. Flournoy, as well as similar theoretical arguments by postulating a fundamental acausal principle of the connection of all things, which is better suited for describing psychic and some physical phenomena than the classical causal explanation. In analytical psychology, such a principle is synchronicity, in hierarchical personalism - gnoseological coordination. Both concepts are genetically related to the G.W. Leibniz idea of pre-established harmony, which was reinterpreted by Jung and Lossky through different worldview foundations. Jung in his reasoning relied on the transcendental idealism of I. Kant, the principle of complementarity and the discoveries of quantum mechanics, Lossky - on intuitivism, the principle of subordination and on his own interpretation of Einsteins theories. Jung comes to the conclusion that the psyche has a timeless character, and Lossky comes to the conclusion that it has a super-temporal character. Jungs timelessness indicates the transcendental nature of psyche and the strive to get away from the classical causal explanation, saving it according to the principle of complementarity only to consider the phenomenal side of being and mainly physical processes. One of the pioneers of quantum mechanics Pauli was of the same opinion in general. Because of there is nothing transcendent in hierarchical personalism, Losskys super-temporality is of a strive to find a deeper basis for occurring in time processes, and, according to the principle of subordination, to include time in the hierarchical structure of the universe, prescribing for it a role of one of the two key forms of psychic and psycho-material processes characteristic of a certain stage of being.

The COVID-19 pandemic has produced a collective paranoia which is not only driven by our psychic anxiety but also mirrors the irrationality of the crisis and the failure of global governance. During such catastrophic times, in which the state has failed to create a sustainable civil society, scholars such as Melanie Klein, Silvan Tomkins, and Eve Sedgwick have theorized the ways in which we may turn paranoia away from its destructive tendency toward a reparative practice of relationship-building and collective action. I discuss the limits of a clinical approach to paranoia and propose a reparative practice of the global psyche toward social transformation, especially in relation to the rise of anti-Asian violence during the pandemic.

There are myriads of wants, wishes, and desires in the minds of human beings. However, the fulfillment of these needs is not always possible, for there are some internal and external factors governing the satisfaction of each desire. Before gratifying any needs and deciding whether or not to fulfill any request, it is crucial to examine the nature of this specific demand and consider the consequences that might eventually be brought about. The paper aims to represent the theme of repentance in The Five Boons of Life, which emerges from making wrong choices in life and the bitter consequences that follow. Further, it claims that Freud’s psychoanalytic theories can be applied to Mark Twain’s short story, The Five Boons of Life. The study is important as it may give some insights about where the regret comes from and how the human psyche works.

Faithful persons tend to relate to their religious beliefs as truth claims, particularly inasmuch as their beliefs have soteriological implications for those of different religions. For Christians the particular claims which matter most in this regard are those made by Jesus of Nazareth and his claims are primarily relational in nature. I propose a model in which we understand divine grace from Jesus as being mediated through relational knowledge of him on a compassionately exclusivist basis, including post-mortem. Supporting this model, I draw from Eleonore Stump’s hypothesis in her 2018 Atonement that the crucifixion of Jesus opens the divine psyche to all human psyches sufficiently for salvific mutual indwelling to occur, and from Gavin D’Costa’s conception of the descensus Christi ad inferos as the mechanism for grace’s accessibility post-mortem presented in his 2009 Christianity and World Religions. This model seeks to address ongoing, justified pastoral concern for the soteriological status of non-Christians while still treating Christianity as objectively true.

La justicia restaurativa es una herramienta para que las partes involucradas en un proceso judicial obtengan un resarcimiento en los bienes vulnerados. El presente artículo pretende describir respecto al alcance de las víctimas involucradas en un proceso de violencia familiar, delimitado a los supuestos en donde cohabiten como hijos, niños, niñas y adolescentes, ante el Juez de Control en las situaciones de arribo a la salida alterna de suspensión condicional, sea impuesta oficiosamente con independencia de las demás condiciones a cumplir durante la misma, el tratamiento psicológico que establece el artículo 195, fracción VII del Código Nacional de Procedimientos Penales. Considerando que el delito de violencia familiar, tutela la convivencia armónica del vínculo familiar, no de las relaciones de parentesco civil, el mismo es un ente consistente en la psique de las víctimas directas e indirectas, estas últimas por los daños colaterales de la ejecución del mismo. En ese orden de ideas, la tutela de los derechos de la víctima no puede constreñirse únicamente a la víctima directa, sino se obtiene una reparación del daño en la psique de quienes son lesionados por alienación parental, se estará coartando el derecho de acceso a la justicia. Al respecto, se aborda y justifica el hecho de que no es posible hablar de justicia restaurativa en una suspensión condicional a proceso, sin la observancia de manera oficiosa del tratamiento psicológico.

Bledin makes the point that antisemitism had been around long before the discourse that allowed, or created, the Holocaust and even before the colonizations that created the Boers’ racist discourse. This point is his major difference with our thoughts.

Introduction. Free access to information, its intensive and cyclical circulation have led to the mass spread of fakes, which is intensified by the widespread use of various mass media, especially social networks. It is quite difficult to distinguish false (fake) information from the truth. Fake messages are designed to change the reality of the serviceman. Most of the fake messages, that are aimed at servicemen, are about war and politics and are based on references to "betrayals" and "victories". Purpose. The article aims to reveal the role of fake messages in the structure of behavioral activity of a serviceman, highlight the semantic structure of the fake, designed to attract attention, and clarify the cognitive biases that serve as a tool to make wrong decisions. Methods. To realize the purpose of the article, we proceed from the fact that the theoretical study of fakes, from a methodological point of view, belongs to the highest level of scientific knowledge, as it reveals and substantiates the deeper and more significant aspects of this phenomenon. We use the following general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, formalization, abstraction, modeling. The use of the historical method made it possible to comprehensively reveal the study of fakes in chronological order, establishing its inner essence, patterns of influence on the target audience and contradictions in the decoding of messages. Originality. It has been proven that, in essence, a fake is a type of targeted information weapon used to covertly broadcast certain ideas or messages. The latter, in turn, are used to change the emotional and psychological attitudes of a particular target audience. It is shown that the spread of fake messages results in a state of mass cognitive dissonance in the representatives of the target group, against which this type of information weapon is used. Conclusion. To systematize the path, that fake information undergoes to achieve the end result (to make people believe in it), it should be divided into three stages: 1) attracting attention; 2) beliefs; 3) decision making. The negative effects of fakes are primarily aimed at damaging the emotional, motivational, social, existential and intellectual side of the soldier's psyche. It has been established that a fake is a powerful information weapon of mass media, which on a subconscious level influences the behavioral regulation of human actions, and the individual does not always notice and realize this. Fakes can worsen physical and mental health, cause changes in mental processes, motivation, priorities and affect interaction in society. Knowledge of the specifics of the psychological impact of fakes on the individual will help understand the need to analyze information content, search, critically select and review messages to maintain own mental health.

Introduction . In the process of professional training of future psychologists, the ability to recognize the mental norm and deviations from it to identify resources to maintain a healthy part of the psyche during counseling, correctional or psychotherapeutic work with the client is important. Professional competencies in pathopsychology involve the formation of the concept of norm and pathology in the worldview of future psychologists, because in any activity of a psychologist the forefront is the qualification of the studied psychological phenomenon as normal or pathological. Purpose. The purpose of this article is a theoretical overview of scientific approaches to understanding the concept of the norm in clinical psychology and its field as pathopsychology, to emphasize the relevance of the concept of the psychological norm in students majoring in Psychology during their training Methods. Theoretical research is carried out using methods of historical analysis, comparison, systematization, and interpretation of facts. Originality. Closely related to the concept of the mental norm is the concept of mental and psychological health. The fundamental difference between the terms "mental health" and "psychological health" is that the former characterizes individual mental processes and mechanisms, and the latter - refers to the individual as a whole, is closely related to the manifestations of the human spirit. In the scientific sense, norm and pathology are two extreme points and there is no clear boundary between them, and it is difficult to differentiate them. The continuum between the two extreme points is filled by the so-called boundary conditions. Within the level approach, there are three levels of human existence: somatic, psychological, and level of moral self-awareness. The "ideal norm" can be considered human well-being at all three levels of its existence Conclusion . Theoretical review of the issue, the problem of mental norms has been and remains controversial not only for pathopsychology, but also for related fields, including medicine. The mental norm is a multidimensional and multilevel formation. There are several approaches in the interpretation of this concept: adaptive, statistical, pathopsychological, phenomenological, from the standpoint of the norm - norm, the norm as an ideal, and many others, but there is no exact, generally accepted, indisputable definition, despite many studies. We can see the prospect of further research in the direction of analysis of modern world social and philosophical trends in understanding the norm, pathology, disease and psychological health of the individual and their introduction into the educational process of training future psychologists.

This paper was presented as a response to Meredith-Owen's paper at the inaugural joint conference of The Society of Analytical Psychology and the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy in autumn 2020. The author considers the constraints on the personal mother's capacity to facilitate the integration of both the shadow and the unrepressed unconscious. Such a difficult task requires the involvement of an enabling cultural matrix mediated by socio-political systems and structures. The improvement of this cultural matrix relies on alchemical-like processes which would help understanding develop beyond one's own point of view.Cet article a été présenté en réponse à l’article de Meredith-Owen lors de la conférence inaugurale commune à la Society of Analytical Psychology et l’Institut de Psychothérapie des West Midlands, à l’automne 2020.

The author discusses Winnicott's theory (1949/1975) of the psyche-soma and Fairbairn's (1944) theory of internal object relations, bringing them together to enrich our perspective of one's somatization. By focusing on how the patient takes care, attends, experiences, and feels toward the symptom, the analyst can better understand the patient's early object-relations. This allows analyst and patient to rethink the symptom in terms of the patient's early traumas and one's capacity to mourn the loss of the love-object. Fairbairn's conceptualizations of the “rejecting,” “alluring,” and “addictive” object-relations are combined with Winnicott's understanding of the split between psyche and soma, following the ill-adaptation of the mother to the baby's earliest emotional needs.

This paper is a response to William Meredith-Owen's paper presented at the inaugural joint conference on 'Alchemy, a bridge to Jung's objective psyche', for The Society of Analytical Psychology and the West Midlands Institute of Psychotherapy in autumn 2020. The paper presents a way of understanding the collective unconscious through the functioning of the core self, and thus offers a bridge which addresses the indivisibility of the personal and collective psyche/unconscious, referencing Mary Williams' (1963) classic paper. Specifically, this is applied to Winnicott's dream of destruction that he had after reviewing Memories, Dreams, Reflections, as well as to parts of the psyche that were dissociated due to significant early deprivation - the primary narcissistic wounds. Alchemical metaphors are shown to relate to the analytic process, which allows the primitive core self (with its identificatory, participatory, connecting nature), when integrated through relationship, to sink back into the unconscious and function as the Self.

O filme de terror da Netflix, O que ficou para trás (2020), foi dirigido por Remi Weekes, produzido por Aidan Elliott e baseado na obra de Felicity Evans e no roteiro homônimo de Toby Venables. Esse filme narra a jornada de um casal de refugiados do Sudão do Sul, Bol e Rial, desde sua fuga da Segunda Guerra Civil até a sua chegada à Inglaterra em busca de uma nova vida. Em consonância, a Associação de Psiquiatria Americana (APA) vem destacando que os indivíduos com sinais de transtorno de estresse pós-traumático (TSPT) podem revelar 4 tipos de grupos sintomáticos: 1) Intrusões, 2) Evitações, 3) Negações e 4) Hiperexcitação. Por sua vez, o diretor, Weekes, conseguiu utilizar uma infinidade de técnicas cinematográficas (BUCKLAND, 2015, DITTUS, 2013; GIANNETTI, 2001) para representar os mais variados sinais de TSPT de seus protagonistas. Entre as muitas técnicas cinematográficas aplicadas, Weekes (2020) explorou com maestria a mise-en-shot, a iluminação e o cenografia. Como resultado, os espectadores foram capazes de identificar criativamente uma panóplia de representações cinematográficas de TSPT como, por exemplo, as recorrentes invasões nos sonhos de Bol e as intermináveis fugas mentais de Rial em relação à filha. Além disso, Weekes (2020) conseguiu humanizar seus protagonistas por meio de suas incessantes negações acerca da Segunda Guerra Sudanesa e de suas fracassadas tentativas em conduzir uma nova vida na Inglaterra. Através das técnicas cinematográficas meticulosamente escolhidas, a jornada narrativa do casal refugiado, Bol e Rial, ficou ainda mais tortuosa, muito mais complexa e intensamente mais realista.

In its overall intent, the paper aims to instantiate the Valsinerian (2018) proposal of resistance as a fundamental process of human psyche. It attempts to use the concept of resistance to challenge the dualistic axiomatic basis of traditional psychology and argues for the benefits of dialectical metatheory in which theory of resistance is grounded. As a fundamental attribute of human functioning, resistance arises out of the tension of contradictions between opposites within the same whole. To grasp its nature and operation, the dialectical metatheory is needed rather than a dualistic metatheory which is endemic in traditional Psychology. The paper contrasts the two metatheories with each other and outlines the basic premises of dialectical metatheory. It also further elaborates the theory of resistance by addressing the three significant questions about the nature of resistance: Is resistance present in all encounters between persons and between persons and culture? Is resistance limited to negation or is it generative? Is resistance central to making development possible and bringing about transformational change? Through the application of dialectical framework in conceptualizing individual and collective relations, the dualistic thinking in cultural psychology about individualism and collectivism as mutually exclusive categories is questioned. Also, it opens out the space for finding the hidden transcripts of resistance in collectivist culture.

Climate change has been the ‘wicked problem’ the world has struggled to address so far. Further, the Covid-19 pandemic has deeply affected the soft underbelly of global governance by redrawing boundaries and fissures in the existing system. The pandemic is possibly the single biggest event in the post-Second World War period or in the last seventy years to shape and affect human emotion, response and survival instincts. The world has seen catastrophic changes and huge loss of life. There are multiple parallels and differences between the two of the most significant challenges faced by the humanity. Even though climate scientists were harping on the catastrophic impact of climate change for the last four decades, at the broader human consciousness level, the severity of the problem has never sunk into the common psyche. Covid-19 is a vivid example as to how a pathogen-led pandemic can torment and pervade the all-powerful and the highest evolved species on the earth, that is, the mankind. In this backdrop, climate governance and an ideal-type governance typology is being looked at to provide some key insights and possible answers for the future. The concern has been looked through at two levels: personal at the behavioural level and collective at the global-scale levels. Future prescriptions rooted in the current realities have been explored to find a way out of the crisis and the key learning points from the pandemic to face the future with more confidence and certainty.

The objective of this work was to reflect on pornography, considering that although there is little debate on the subject, it is relevant for discussion in the field of psychology. Through bibliographic review, identified scientific material was identified, which presents symbolic interpretations on the theme, within the perspective of analytic psychology and the constructive method proposed by Jung. Pornography is permeated with different representations and has been changing along the years according to the historical-cultural context, being regarded as a symbol of contents of the individual and collective psyche. Based on analytic psychology theory, the relationship between pornography and the collective unconscious and psychic contents was approached and connected with myths, fantasies, projections and social relationships. It is worth emphasizing that the article dealt with this theme from a viewpoint that relates it to clinical processes, bringing to light the subject’s sexuality and its relationship with psychic contents, and that is not intended to propose moral positions.

There have been several theories in the Western world, highlighting various features of human mind, but none of them seems to present the whole truth. The richness and diverse outlook of human experience makes it imperative to look for a model, which contributes in better and all-encompassing understanding of human nature. The present study intends to provide the venue to the spiritual insights of Ghazalian thought to be incorporated into the study of Freudian psychoanalysis, with its central focus on the similarities between them. Besides the current study proceeds from the assumption that though Freudian psychonalytic theory has provided insightful psychological interpretations, equally appropriate readings result from analyzing Ghazalian theory of soul. This study follows the descriptive and analytic methodology to investigate the similarities in both the models and has been developed according to the guidelines provided by Zepetnek’s (1998) theory of comparative literature. This analytical approach may lead to an alternative critical agenda for the better understanding of human psyche. In addition, it is also hoped that the insights yielded by this research study may develop into new forms of understanding in the realm of psychology.

Without exaggeration, learning problems are among the most complex and most controversial not only in pedagogical and philosophical science but also in other scientific areas. We are talking about the philosophy of education as a general paradigm of the organization and content of all that knowledge - scientific and non-scientific - that we pass on to pupils and students through education, about worldview values that are brought up, merged in the process of educational and educational activities, the certainty of the spiritual world of the individual which is formed at school and university and determines her personal position, role and ways of behavior in postmodern society. Education is an important stage in the formation of the human soul, his spiritual world. Consciousness, like other qualities of the human psyche, results from education and acquisition of social experience. An important means of forming a person's consciousness is the educational system, which contributes to the spiritual development of a person. Since it is education that is that social institution, it performs the functions of preparing and including the individual in various spheres of the life of postmodern society and attracting him to culture. Human consciousness is the ideological foundation of aim and reliable knowledge. In this context, consciousness is the possibility and condition of the world, the individual can perceive and develop his spirituality. Education in this case is the most effective way to form a person's spirituality. Since, besides a certain profession, education gives a person the opportunity to spiritually improve himself.
