ПОГЛЯД НА ТРАВМУ В КОНТЕКСТІ ПИТАННЯ ПРО ПЕРЕДУМОВИ ПОЯВИ ПСИХІЧНИХ НАСЛІДКІВ СУСПІЛЬНИХ КРИЗ

Abstract

The paper presents an overview of the problem of psychic trauma within the study of the issue concerning the prerequisites for the emergence of psychical effects of public crises. It is emphasized in the paper that the realities of our present time in the world society are characterized with a high density of crisis states and processes. It is shown in the paper that the question of the emergence of the negative psychical effects of public crises practically is not raised as a scientific problem. Based on the analysis of the forms, manifestations, dynamics and specifics of public crisis phenomena, as well as on the examination of the peculiarities of the psychical response to the crisis phenomena, the author presents an analysis of psychical conditions under which public crisis factors become pathogenic and cause person’s negative psychical processes and states. The elaborate study of long-term clinical experience of psychoanalysts and theoretical analysis of psychoanalytic papers testify that the subject’s traumatization is not predetermined by the principle of linear determinism (when the past affects the present), but on the contrary, the experience of the past can be updated as a traumatic one in the light of present events. In other words, the event of the past can get the traumatic significance through the sense of the event of the present.
