State of Consciousness

P. 62-72.

Abstract:
Altered state of consciousness is caused by the brain function of adjustment to the environment.
The purpose of this particular article is to view psychological peculiarities of personality negative transformation
within the structure of altered states of consciousness. The article topicality is related to the fact
that wrong interpretation of such states can be mistakenly regarded as personal or spiritual growth. Life
conditions, psychotechnics, spiritual practices and yoga, trans methods and etc. can have both positive and
negative impact on personality. External (social) personality is developed in the field of numerous dual
forces which can destroy the inner harmony. Internal personality (essence, soul) is the whole and absolutely
independent creature and it is always harmonious. Integral influence of social forces, nature and cosmos on
human cannot be diagnosed so easily. Research of altered states expands our knowledge about the unity of
individual and human consciousness.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to a very topical issue – psychoanalytical process aimed at formation of mature
heterosexual male identity. Analysis of the problem of deformed male sexuality based on this particular
clinical case raises a question about theoretical interpretation of the role of female identification in biosexual
field of male identity. The main stress is made in the sphere of maternity representations as the basic
predisposition for formation of intra-psychic female objects necessary for external interactions and building
a relationship with a woman. The other aspect typical for unstable male sexuality is a specific complex of
fears that changes in the process of psychotherapy. Important role in male sexuality is taken by the issue
of homosexuality which central role is to defend from formation of Oedipus sexuality. Main instrument of
psychotherapeutic process and the basis for theoretical conclusions is the interpretation of night dreams.
