Abstract

Problem definition. The challenge of psychotherapeutic work with post-stress psychological disadaptation among military men in Ukraine is the resistance to it, and the polyparameterization of approaches for treatment makes this situation even more ambiguous. In the therapeutic literature (Kocharyan O. S., Yermoshin A.F.) the features of the psychotraumatic experience of traumatic feelings are described, but emotional schemes of traumatic experiences associated with PTSD-functioning are not characterized. [1-2] Problem analysis. In the scientific literature there are fragmentary results of theoretical and empirical studies regarding the traumatic experience of soldiers with operational record. From our point of view, there is a constructive idea of the emotional scheme, which is based on the concept of procedural and experimental psychotherapy by L. Greenberg, R. Elliott. [3] The purpose of the study is to determine the specificity of the structure concerning the traumatic experience of the military men in the Armed Forces of Ukraine - members of the ATO combat operations in Ukraine with signs of PTSD that have survived various types of infantile traumas. The research methods are the “Five Traumas” test (by L. Burbo) and the universal semantic differential (SD). To have a mathematical and statistical treatment, the criterion φ is the Fisher's transformation and the coefficient of rank correlation (τ-Kendal). Description of the sample. Two groups of 100 middle-aged men with and without signs of PTSD, who are soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - members of the combat zone for the ATO (groups 1 and 2). Conclusions. PTSD soldiers have such traumas as: abandonment, humiliation and injustice that potentiate one another. Contamination of trauma at the semantic level indicates the existence of a phenomenon of semantic adhesion in these military men.
