Abstract:
This paper presents the results of a study based on a formative experiment in the field of psychological psychotherapy. We are also talking about the rehabilitation of people who have experienced a shock psychological trauma, using methods of deep existential psychology and in the context of appealing to fundamental (traditional) values. The use of methods of transpersonal psychology, art therapy, body-oriented psychotherapy, psychosynthesis, united by a theological and psychological methodology based on the principle of participation (the commandment "love your neighbor as yourself") is considered by the authors as extremely promising in the field of overcoming the consequences of shock trauma and, accordingly, stress disorders of various etiologies. In modern Russian society, this topic is obviously extremely relevant. Despite the fact that deep psychology is, in its own way, a traditional method of working with individuals who have experienced serious psychological trauma, its application in working with people who have experienced psychological shock trauma in the liberated territories implies an element of innovation. At the same time, the combination of technologies of deep psychology with access to the sphere of direct, personal meaningful, existential experience of the significance and essence of the fundamental values of Russian culture opens, in our opinion, an extremely promising direction of activity of practical psychologists and (or) psychotherapists. The conclusions presented in the article make it possible to build the structure of such activities.

Heroism as Psychotherapy: Therapeutic Games of Pop Culture Media Spaces
// Psychology and Psychotechnics.
2016. № 5.
P. 427-435.
DOI: 10.7256/2454-0722.2016.5.68096 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=68096
Abstract:
The subject of the research is the all humanities and psychological reasons of the film rating. In his research Maykov raises a question about why the top rated movies are usually fantasy, science fiction or adventures. The researcher analyzes different points of views on why bluckbusters are so popular, in particular, John Campbell's concepts of the monomyth and hero's journey. Maykov makes an assumption that the aforesaid reasons are related to the psychotherapeutic influence of 'heroic movies'. The results of the research provide new opportunities for understanding the mechanism of the influence of pop culture as well as popular practices and modern psychological and psychotherapeutic trainings from the point of view of modern humanities. The research method and methodology are based on the genealogical approach to the cartography of the hero's journey relating the latter to the most ancient form thereof, shamanic map of the reality. This approach is completed with the comparative analysis of modern researches on mythology and folklore. The main contribution made by the author of the article to the topic is his hypothesis about a preliminary classification of three kinds of the hero's journey, each of them has its own textual, conceptual and historical basis. Also, the author's concept of heroism as a form of initial psychotherapy allows to see the phenomenon of the film rating and mechanisms of mass media and pop culture influence in a different light.

DOI: 10.7256/2454-0722.2012.7.61281 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=61281
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.
Keywords:

Symbol in Trans-Personal Psychology
// Psychology and Psychotechnics.

Abstract:
Appearance of trans-personal psychology has drastically changed interpretations of a symbol. It
showed philosophical and anthropological depths of this phenomenon and allowed to interpret it from the point
of view of a perinatal experience. At the same time, it deepened the conception about transcendental nature of a
symbol, too. We learnt to identify ourselves with other people, animals, plants and non-organic elements in our
trans-personal feelings. It helped us to learn something new about ourselves, other people, nature and universe
and gave us a deep understanding of unconscious drivers of our psyche.
