ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ КОРРЕКЦИЯ ЛИЧНОСТНОГО СМЫСЛА В СТРУКТУРЕ ВНУТРЕННЕЙ КАРТИНЫ БОЛЕЗНИ ПРИ СОМАТИЧЕСКОМ ЗАБОЛЕВАНИИ (НА ПРИМЕРЕ БРОНХИАЛЬНОЙ АСТМЫ)

Abstract

The topicality of the psychological correction of the personal sense in the structure of mental image of illness of somatic disease is stated. The conception of mental image of illness (on the example of bronchial asthma) from the bodily psychology point of view is considered. All the variants of the personal sense of disease (as a result of interrelations and interactions of actual personal motives in connection with the disease), including negative, positive and conflict senses, are overviewed. It is resumed, that all the variants of the personal sense of disease in the bodily psychology more or less have negative connotation and can cause various psychosomatic deviations or disorders. Thus, it is necessary to determine the most optimal and favorable from the therapeutic and prognostic points of view personal sense of disease. Thereby, the notion of the “adequate” negative personal sense of disease is suggested. The “adequate” negative personal sense of disease should be formed in the process of psychological correction over against “inadequate” negative and conflict senses of the disease. It should be understood as such, which is conducive for the adaptation to the disease, the formation of the aspiration to overcome the disease and understanding the health as a value, and the achievement of the recovery on the background of the most complete, full-scale, clear and conscious perception of the disease in accordance with the objective, “external” image of illness. The formation of the “adequate” negative personal sense of disease is possible through following the overviewed methodological and technological vectors and outlines in the process of psychological correction. It is shown, that due to the structure of mental image of illness as a holistic consciousness image, the correction of the personal sense of disease will cause the changes on the other levels of mental image of illness and formation of the “adequate” mental image of illness in general. Herewith, the psychological correction on the level of the perception of intraceptive bodily sensations and emotional experiences and on the level of mythologizing should complement the program of psychological correction and increase the efficiency of psychocorrective effect.
