Abstract:
Everyone lives in the surrounding world and we can speak of an adequate adaptation to the reality, its peculiarities and characteristics only if all the specific features of the surroundings are taken into account. Based on their personal experience, knowledge and typical ways of activity, people build their own cognitive maps of reality (subjective image of the objective world). The most important characteristic of the latter is its usefulness in providing comfortable existence and life support of an organism.

Subconscious interprets a child.

Abstract:
By the beginning of the 20th century psychologists’ views on children branched out. On the verge of the two epochs Zigmund Froid discovered an incredible thing: human’s sexuality appeared very early – in childhood already. It just goes through different stages. The thought would certainly overwhelm some famous people like ancient Greek philosopher Plato, for instance. He did believe that only an adult could have sexual problems.

Parapsychology: myth or reality?
// Psychology and Psychotechnics.
2008. ¹ 1.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=55947
Abstract:
One of unorthodox psychological approaches to phenomenology of conscious is actually given by the science which was the first to try and theoretically explain paranormal phenomena (despite any criticism and skepticism coming from the academic society). Parapsychology (derived from the Greek root “para” meaning “near” or “beside”) is the sphere studying psychic phenomena which cannot be explained by the common physics. The most famous phenomena include telepathy (mental communication between two people when no obvious means of communication are used), clairvoyance (power of getting information on events when no typical ways of receiving knowledge are used), foresight (ability to predict future events) and psychokinesis (faculty of manipulating physical objects by the force of the thought).

Abstract:
For quite a long time experts have been debating whether psychotherapy is actually effective and what would be the proper way to assess this effectiveness. The author of this article compares the two well-known psychological approaches in terms of their effectiveness. The first one, psychoanalytical, is based on suggesting psychoanalytical interpretations and schemes and the other one, humanistic, is mostly oriented at personal adaptation and development.

Thoughts on the archetypical image of Baba Yaga in Russian folk tales and its psychological merits.
// Psychology and Psychotechnics.
2008. ¹ 1.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=55949
Abstract:
Being the archetypical image, Baba-Yaga often appears in various forms in the Russian tale. Due to their psychological impressiveness, Russian tales are still quite attractive and useful for describing the psychic dynamics. With that, it raises a few important questions to ask – under which circumstances the image appears, what dynamics it is related to and what meaning it has.

Metamorphoses of the borderland.

Abstract:
The “frontier” is an event, an image and a feeling. It is also a motive and an archetype. This phenomenon is practically drainless in its content because it characterizes a variety of aspects and situations which are, however, come to one only “core” construct. In a word, the frontier is a place in time and space (a border, neutral territory) where the opposites meet and face the conflict which is eventually solved by their synthesis. There, at the frontier, transformation takes place and something new appears. That is the place of creation.

Correlation of temper qualities and variables of aggressiveness.
// Psychology and Psychotechnics.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=55951
Abstract:
The article discusses the relation between temperamental traits and variables of aggression. The concept of aggression and aggressive behavior is one of the most controversial in the world psychology. Even today psychologists haven’t come to an agreement on the origin of and the way to control aggressive behavior. The majority of foreign researches, especially American ones, tend to seek the main reasons of aggression in the sphere of inherited personal traits conditioned by genetic premises, peculiarities of prenatal development, nationality and others.

Abstract:
Human’s life and heath are the basic criteria for the society’s justice. It is not such an obvious value for the society as it may seem at first thought and it hasn’t been absolute at all times. The value of life and even more so the value of human’s health have a relative meaning in different situations and may drift down the value hierarchy.

Suffering as a paradox of “unhappy conscience”.
// Psychology and Psychotechnics.
2008. ¹ 1.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=55954
Abstract:
A human being cannot be “made” happy and technical means are not able to conquer the fate weighing upon him, to defeat the tragic contradictions of life and death and to destroy the mystery. A human stands above the eternity and faces the conflict between his personality and the objective world and all his unsolved problems are exteriorized to his well-being and social life. In order to avoid misunderstandings it is necessary to add the following: misfortunes and suffering related to the whooping social inequality, bitter poverty and slavery can and must be overcome and eliminated.

Abstract:
Still being the part of the great theoretic inheritance, Zigmund Froid’s theory of narcissism has appeared to be far less popular with the society than the conception of psychosexual development or the theory of symbolism. This conception is revealed in Russian folk tales.
