Abstract

The article shows that under the personal destructions understand the pathological process of destruction of the structure of the individual or its individual elements. Personal destructions include such formations of the human psyche that create barriers in its contacts with others and thus complicate the realization of their own goals. The main types of destructive changes in personality include pathological deformation of personal needs and motives, destructive changes in character and temperament, violations of volitional regulation of behavior, systems of interpersonal relationships, formation of inadequate self-esteem. Among the leading forms of personal destruction are partial and deep personal destruction, as well as temporary (transient), with the subsequent restoration of the functioning of all structural components of the personality, and progressive (irreversible), followed by a personal defect. It is established that personal destructions can be as a result of self-destructive activity of the person, as well as purposeful external influence, or as a result of psycho-traumatic and crisis situations, in particular loss of a person's disability. The negative (crisis) type of personal attitude of the examinees to the situation of temporary disability is defined, which distinguishes the unpreparedness for its adoption, consideration of the existing conditions as crisis with distortion of life plans and prospects, and the adaptive (constructive) type, with adequate assessment of the current situation adoption, formation of an adaptive model of behavior. It is established that the determinants of personal destruction are social and psychological characteristics that cause negative changes in the cognitive, emotional, semantic and communicative spheres of personality. As indicators of the destruction of the cognitive sphere of the personality are rigidity, limited thinking and conservatism; emotional sphere - psycho-emotional exhaustion, emotional instability; the semantic sphere - reduction of personal achievements, insufficient cognitive activity, the communicative sphere - social distance, reduction of interpersonal contacts, seclusion and self-centeredness.
