The genetic link between anxiety and libido: libido as an anxiety conversion

Psychoanalysis in the study of the human psyche considers all processes in the psychodynamic paradigm. The term "psychodynamics" first appeared in the works of Freud. From the information given by Freud deduces the definition: psychodynamics is the mutual influence of unconscious (id, BSZ) and conscious (ego) processes in which BSZ is of priority importance [14]. The psychodynamic approach made it possible to reveal the economic features of mental processes. Psychic economism describes how psychic energy is involved in the processes of production/reproduction, distribution, transition and qualitative and quantitative changes. When describing psychodynamics and the economy of Freud focused on libido as the only psychic energy that can be invested in an object in a direct and sublimated form, and manifest itself in models of attraction or conversion, in symptoms. However, the study of mental processes in patients with borderline personality organization of psychogenic etiology with the help of hypnopsychoanalysis allowed us to change the view of libido as the primary and central mental energy. According to the data of psychocorrective work, we came to the conclusion that anxiety is a pre-libidinal energy that is first experienced by a child at the moment of birth and in the process of ontogenesis is able to convert into libido. This leads to the conclusion that libido is the result of the conversion of anxiety, or, in other words, the reactive formation of anxiety. For the first time, an attempt to give anxiety a basal status was made by Karen Horney [20]. However, her work describes the phenomenological aspects of anxiety. We find a broad study of anxiety in a phenomenological way both in early authors, among whom R. May is particularly noted [8], and in modern ones [5], [3], [7]. In turn, the report examines the economic aspect of anxiety in the psychodynamic approach, its genetic relationship with libido, and the ability of anxiety to convert into libido. The research methodology is based on the following: - analysis of sources that highlight the problem of anxiety; - philosophical justification of the singular and plural; - data obtained as a result of psychocorrective work using psychodynamic hypnotherapy

Особенности психологических защит и копинг-стратегий у педагогов дошкольных образовательных учреждений с разным уровнем психологического благополучия

<p>The aim of the work was to identify the features of psychological defenses and coping strategies among teachers of preschool educational institutions with different levels of psychological well-being. The study involved 62 educators of preschool educational institutions in the city of Rostov-on-Don, the city of Aksai and the village of Rassvet, Rostov Region. The following methods were used: “Scale of psychological well-being” by K. Riff, technique for measuring psychological defense by E.R. Pilyugina, R.F. Suleimanov, questionnaire “Types of orientations in difficult situations” by E.V. Bityutskaya, A.A. Korneeva. As a result of the study, it was found that teachers with a high level of psychological well-being more often use adaptive psychological defenses, teachers with an average level of psychological well-being more often use psychological defense of the infantile type, teachers with a low level of psychological well-being more often use psychological defense of the psychotic, as well as infantile and neurotic types. Teachers of preschool educational institutions with a high level of psychological well-being are distinguished by their preference for coping strategies related to the type “Orientation towards rapprochement, interaction with difficulty.” Teachers of preschool educational institutions with an average and, especially, a low level of psychological well-being tend to be more inclined to use coping strategies related to the type “Orientation towards leaving and moving away from difficulties.” It is recommended to use the results of the study in psychoprophylactic and psychocorrective work with preschool teachers.</p>

Psycholinguistic analysis of speech processing under pathophysiological (traumatic) stress factor

The article presents the analysis results of spontaneous speech under pathophysiological traumatic stress factor. Traumatic stress is an acute reaction to pathophysiological factor affecting the psychoemotional sphere and characterised by changes in behaviour patterns including speech. The purpose of this study is the auditory analysis of speech, which demonstrates changes of formal characteristics at the tempo level, rhythm and mistakes under emotional intensity. The subject of the study is the formal speech characteristics of patients with various injuries under natural conditions of pathophysiological acute stress. Systemic principles of the speech analysis are based on an interdisciplinary approach and includes determination of the personality psychological type and the mental status of each subject at the time of patient examination to diagnose the state of emotional intensity. Interdisciplinary psycholinguistic analysis allows assessing emotional and psychophysiological state of patients and is a basis for psychocorrectional work with patients in a state of pathophysiological stress and for treatment taking into account their mental status.

Этническая идентичность подростков-таджиков, обучающихся в школах Новосибирска, и ее связь с самооценкой

The article deals with the problem of ethnic identity of Tajik teenagers studying in high schools in Novosibirsk. Special attention is paid to the relationship between ethnic identity and self-esteem of Tajik adolescents. Self-esteem can indirectly influence adaptation in society. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time the fusion of ethnic identity with self-esteem was shown in Tajik adolescents, which explains the difficulties of inculturation among them and the tendency to stay closer to their fellow tribesmen. The study involved Tajik teenagers, citizens of the Russian Federation who speak Russian, aged 15-17 years, high school students of secondary schools in Novosibirsk, (76 people). There are 40 girls and 36 boys among the subjects. To study self-esteem, the “Self-Confidence Test” by G. Romek and the “Self-Confidence Scale” by S. Reizas “RAS” were used. To study ethnic identity, the methodology “Types of Ethnic Identity” by G.U. Soldatova was used, as well as the methodology “Structure of Ethnic Identity” by J. Finney. It is shown that Tajik teenagers who tend to adequately perceive their ethnic identity, as well as those who tend to place excessive emphasis on ethnic identity, have higher self-confidence indicators. The ethnic identity of the studied group is quite harmonious. There were direct moderate links between ethno-fanaticism, ethno-isolationism and self-confidence, and ethno-nihilism correlated with self-doubt. It is concluded that the self-confidence and self-esteem of Tajik teenagers is associated with their ethnic identity, which gives them a sense of belonging to ‘their own group’. Their self-confidence depends on being included in a group of fellow tribesmen, being an integral part of collectivism. The titular ethnic group, Russians, are not perceived as ‘their own group’. The practical significance is seen in the possibility of using the results obtained in psychocorrective work with Tajik adolescents who experience difficulties in psychosocial adaptation in Russia.

Social and psychological assistance to children under martial law

The purpose of the study is to identify the main psycho-emotional states and factors affecting the physical and mental well-being of schoolchildren, including during distance learning and in relationships with family members, as well as to develop areas of psychosocial assistance to children under martial law. To achieve the research purpose, an appropriate questionnaire was developed with multiple-choice questions about: dominant emotions and feelings, attitudes towards distance learning, reactions to external stimuli, the impact of martial law on the comfort of life, relationships with peers and parents, etc. A survey was conducted among 1303 schoolchildren aged 6–17, including 515 boys and 788 girls, 11 of whom live outside Ukraine. The survey found that the physical and psycho-emotional well-being of Ukrainian schoolchildren was characterised by sleep disturbances, agitation, fear, rapid mood changes, severe fatigue, sadness, longing, indignation, irritation, anger, increased conflicts (especially with parents), etc. An additional factor in the increased level of anxiety under martial law was distance learning, which makes it difficult for students to concentrate due to the difficulty of communication, shifted daily routines, worries about family and friends, changes in responsibilities and other distractions. The main directions of psycho-correctional work and recommendations for the use of psychosocial assistance technologies have been developed, which will allow children to assess their current life situation, identify their strengths (resources), which will ensure their self-healing and increase their resilience.

Психологическая коррекция личностных особенностей наркозависимых осужденных, отбывающих наказания в местах лишения свободы

<p style="text-align: justify;">The article discusses the personality traits and their psychological correction in convicts addicted to drugs, who are serving sentences in Corrective Colony No.1 of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Udmurt Republic. During the course of an empirical study, it was found that drug-addicted convicts have a high level of addictive behaviours, tend to seek sensations, avoid a realistic perception of reality, are characterized by a high level of the functioning of psychological defenses, the destruction of family and interpersonal relationships, however, at the same time, they have a high adaptation to places of detention. In accordance with order No. 52-r of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia of February 21, 2018, a departmental program of social and psychological work is being tested in institutions of the penitentiary system in relation to drug addicts held in detention centers and correctional institutions. On the basis of the identified personality traits, psycho-correctional work was carried out with drug-addicted convicts in a strict regime corrective facility. The results obtained make it possible to identify positive personal changes in convicts after the application of the psycho-correction program, which in general contributes to their better preparation for life in freedom.</p>

Position of religious interactions in the paradigm of juridical social work: an assessment attempt

Correctional and psychocorrectional work with different categories of socially maladjusted people, especially prisoners and juveniles in specific resocialization facilities, can be performed using different approaches or models. Working with these people is extremely difficult, because in their axiological functioning, they often follow anti-values, have difficulty complying with social, moral, and legal norms, and are often characterized by demanding attitudes. In Poland, the term resocialization is commonly used to refer to working with prisoners or juvenile wards of correctional institutions. The present paper discusses in detail three paradigms of interventions towards people who have come into conflict with the law, or in general towards people who are not adapted to social functioning, that is, living by the moral, social, and legal norms that are used and generally accepted by society. These are classical resocialization, juridical social work, and social rehabilitation paradigms. In a given paradigm, certain forms of work will be preferred. Methodology of working with socially maladjusted, or resocialization methodology, involves the functions, principles, and methods of this work. Methods of correctional work (methods of resocialization) have a psychotechnical (individual, and at the same time psychological or psychotherapeutic), sociotechnical (working with a group or using interactions through a group), or culture-technical character (learning, e.g., at school, work, contact with culture as a recipient or creator). Various religious interactions should also be considered a culture-technical method. Not all inmates or wards of correctional facilities have a negative attitude toward religion or specialized (penitentiary, facility) prison ministry. Many of them see the value in religious interactions as helpful. Religious practices help them function socially, although to obtain given benefits, the inmates or wards may manipulate their religious commitment, which may turn out to be a sham commitment. The professional work of the author of the present paper has allowed him to conduct many years of observation among inmates in penitentiary units or among those placed in juvenile institutions of the justice department. The results of this observation provided a basis for placing religious interventions not in the paradigm of classical resocialization but in juridical social work.

Assessment of the psycho-emotional state of pregnant women and features of anesthesia in an obstetric hospital

Aim to determine the indicators of anxiety and depression in pregnant women who are going to have an operative delivery and, depending on this, to provide the optimal type of anesthesia and psychological support during the operation.
 Material and methods. We examined 215 pregnant women aged 18 to 45 years (M=29,84,79) who were to undergo operative delivery. We also tested 188 women from the KG with the physiological course of pregnancy, with the same age and gestation period, whose delivery was carried out through the natural birth canal.
 Results. In MG patients, the optimal type of PCGD was significantly lower than in CG patients (p0.05). Euphoric, hypogestognosic and anxious types of PCGD in pregnant CG were also significantly higher than in MG patients (p0.05). When analyzing the data on personal and situational anxiety, it was found that a high degree of severity according to the Spielberg-Khanin scale was observed in patients with anxious and depressive types of PCGD Endogenous depression in pregnant women of the main and control groups is absent when using the questionnaire for the presence and severity of depressive states I.G. Bespalko.
 Conclusion. In pregnant women who were to have an operative delivery, the optimal type of PCGD was significantly lower than in women who were to have a natural birth. Anxious and depressive type of PCGD in patients with planned operative delivery was significantly higher than in patients with planned natural childbirth. Psychocorrective work and additional psychological support by an anesthesiologist-resuscitator during a caesarean section reduced the severity of anxiety and depressive disorders.

Artistic interpretation of real traumatic events in Maria Ogneva’s play “Following the White Rabbit”

The article considers the documentary and fictional components of M. Ogneva’s play “Following the White Rabbit”, which raises the theme of the trauma experienced in the past. The play is based on real events related to the violent death of two teenage girls. In this play, the tragic event is taken out of the storyline and the attention is focused on the understanding of the tragedy by a female friend and the mothers of the girls. The article studies the techniques used by the author to create the fictional world of the play: allegory, allusion, a combination of real and fantasy elements, division and montage, work with documentary materials of a judicial practice, the “verbatim” technique, different types of discourse and different “points of view” to describe one and the same event. As a result of the analysis, we conclude that the strategy used by the author is comparable to a fairy tale therapy (the method of psycho-correctional work): the therapeutic effect is achieved by pronouncing the traumatic experience in the presence of the audience, by the characters’ searches for various options for getting out of the spiritual crisis, by launching the process of continuous moral and ethical self-identification at the viewer’s level, i.e. by correlating the characters’ experience with their own destiny.

О трансформации жизненных планов осуждённых в местах лишения свободы

Abstract: Introduction. The relevance of the research topic is due to the importance of studying the transformation of the life plans of convicts in detention facilities and insufficient elaboration of the research topic in legal psychology. The purpose of the present research was to study the transformation of the life plans of convicts in detention facilities. The study was conducted on the basis of federal government institution “Correctional colony-5” of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Ryazan region. The study engaged 64 male convicts serving their sentences in the strict regime prison colony. The average term for serving punishment by convicts was 4.5 years. The scientific problem is to identify the psychological characteristics of convicts who have negative and positive life plans.
 Methods. In the course of the research the following methods were used: observation, conversation, questioning, personal records analysis, expert staff survey, and “Motivation for Success and Fear of Failure” technique (A. A. Rean).
 During the expert staff survey, we identified the most significant external (environmental) conditions influencing the transformation of the life plans of convicts in detention facilities: 1) conditions and procedure for serving a criminal sentence; 2) micro- and macro-environment of convicts; 3) adaptation of convicts to the conditions of a correctional institution; 4) socially useful activities of convicts.
 Results. By using “Motivation for Success and Fear of Failure” technique by A. A. Rean, it was established that the first group of convicts has negative motivation due to being placed in a correctional facility. Such convicts are characterized by increased anxiety, uncertainty in themselves and their own abilities. In this regard, we believe that convicts of the first group (the first two months in a correctional institution) need timely psycho-correctional work with their life plans.
 The second group of convicts, compared to the first one has a clearly expressed tendency to be motivated to succeed, which is primarily due to the upcoming release from prison, and therefore they have a need to achieve constructive results.

Трудности взаимодействия с созависимыми: системно-семейный анализ

<p style="text-align: justify;">The problem of addictive behavior and the search for effective psychosocial assistance programs remains relevant. The existing relationship between dysfunctions in the family and the formation of a dependent personality necessitates psycho-correctional work with family members. However, the position of co-dependent family members of an addict is often associated with resistance to change in the family situation. In the article, the difficulties in the interaction of specialists with co-dependents is considered through the prism of an analysis of systemic family processes and phe-nomena. Specific types of difficulties caused by violations in various parameters of the family sys-tem are highlighted. An analysis of family parameters and means of regulating intra- and extra-family interaction reveals hidden aspects of resistance to change on the part of a dysfunctional fami-ly and expands the possibilities for leveling its influence. Based on the results of the analysis, direc-tions for further research are proposed.</p>

Empirical analysis. The use of different approaches in various forms and methods of educational and psychocorrective work allowed to improve the indicators of the complex of PIQ of the future doctor. The analysis of changes in the obtained indicators after participation in the experimental program was carried out by methods of mathematical statistics. Conclusion. The data allowed us to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of personality-oriented, competence-based, axiological and activity-based approaches within the framework of the model of the formation of the PIQ of the future doctor, which finds its practical application in the training of medical students.

ПЕРЕЖИВАННЯ ОСОБИСТІСНОГО БЛАГОПОЛУЧЧЯ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ

The article analyses the peculiarities of experiencing personal well-being in the conditions of martial law. The indicators of personal well-being in 2018 (N=96) are compared – the control level, with the indicators in 2022 (N=100) and in 2023 (N=84). The respondents were residents of the Chernihiv and Kyiv regions, on the territory of which hostilities took place and which were temporarily under occupation. Scale of subjective social well-being, Scale of satisfaction with life, Scale of psychological well-being were used. No statistically significant changes in the experience of life satisfaction (subjective well-being) were recorded. In both men and women, in the second year of the war, an increase in orientation towards social visibility and social approval was found. The general indicators of subjective social well-being in 2023 exceeded the pre-war level for men and did not change for women. The article showed that men’s experience of personal well-being is more dynamic: it decreased in the first six months of the large-scale invasion and exceeded the pre-war level in the second year of military operations. During the first half-year of martial law, their evaluations of emotional acceptance in the immediate circle decreased, the feeling of social distance increased, and the positivity of perceptions of other people fluctuated. For women, certain parameters as – autonomy, competence, positive relationships, self-acceptance – did not change. In men, in 2022, there is a decrease in indicators of autonomy, personal growth, life goals, self-acceptance, in 2023, these parameters of personal well-being exceed the pre-war level. Post-traumatic growth was recorded in respondents of both sexes, which was manifested in an increase in the desire for social influence, awareness of life goals and a sense of personal growth. The results can be used in psychocorrective work with traumatized persons. Key words: personal well-being, psychological well-being, subjective social well-being, subjective well-being, martial law.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY OF CADETS OF A FIRE-FIGHTING UNIVERSITY IN A SPECIAL SOCIAL SITUATION

Relevance. The article examines the impact of a special social situation on the well-being and psychological safety of fire service cadets during their studies at the university. The purpose of the article is to study the features of psychological safety of cadets of a fire-fighting university in a special social situation associated with the aggravation of geopolitical, technosphere, humanitarian, psychological threats and challenges.
 Research methods. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental well-being Scale (WEMWBS), the questionnaire “Assessment of personal satisfaction in the need for security” (O.Y. Zotova), the author’s methodology for studying the anxiety of cadets in connection with a special social situation were used. Methods of qualitative and quantitative data analysis, including factor and correlation analysis, were used. Study participants: cadets of the Ivanovo Fire and Rescue Academy of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.
 The results of the study. It is revealed that the factors of anxiety of cadets in special social conditions are situational concern, frustration, stability. It was found that there is a negative relationship between anxiety and the well-being of cadets during a special social situation, a positive relationship was found between satisfaction of the need for security and the well-being of cadets.
 Conclusion. The practical significance of the research is expressed in the need to update resilience skills based on existing knowledge and experience, motivation and a formed worldview. To do this, it is necessary to optimize the educational environment aimed at maintaining a psychological climate that contributes to maintaining the psychological well-being of cadets through psychocorrective work and psychological counseling.

Механизмы психологической защиты и ее доминирующие стратегии в общении у старшеклассников и студентов-первокурсников

The study of psychological defense mechanisms is relevant due to their significance in the development of personality self-regulation as well as their importance in teaching and personal development of high school students and university students. The objective of the study is to identify and compare the features of psychological defense and its dominant communication strategies in high school students and first-year students. The theoretical analysis of the problem showed that it is insufficiently studied. The research hypothesizes that psychological defense of high school students and university students has a similar character, since they can be attributed to the same age group. The study involved high school students of comprehensive schools (n=50, aged 16-17, 30 of them were boys and 20 were girls) and first-year university students (n=100, aged 17-19, 65 of them were boys and 35 were girls) living in the city of Bryansk. To identify the most common types of psychological defense, the “Life Style Index” methodology was used (R. Plutchik, G. Kellerman, H. R. Conte); the study of psychological defense strategies was conducted using the questionnaire “Diagnosis of the dominant strategy of psychological defense in communication” (V. V. Boyko). The obtained data indicate that the manifestation of different types of psychological defense and their dominant communication strategies in the two groups of subjects has a similar character. Statistically significant differences between the indicators (according to the F-test) were not found either, which emphasizes that the subjects belong to the same psychological age – youth. Indeed, the mechanisms of regression and displacement are the center of psychological defense in high school students, and displacement is dominant in university students. The data also show that such psychological defense strategies as placidity and withdrawal (avoidance) prevail in adolescence. The research has revealed significant correlation between non-constructive defense communication strategies and immature, non-adaptive types of psychological defense in high school students and university students. The gathered data contribute to a more complete understanding of the patterns of behavior self-regulation in senior schoolchildren and first-year students. The results can be used in counseling and psychocorrective work of a psychologist, as well as in the process of teaching and personal development of high school students and university students.

Психофизиологические корреляты копинг-поведения у лиц юношеского возраста, перенесших COVID-19

The global nature of the epidemiological situation associated with the spread of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 and the multidisciplinary nature of the problem of psychophysiological disorders in people who have suffered from this disease has led to the need for a comprehensive study of the factors affecting postcovid recovery. Taking into account the nature of the problem posed, the purpose of the presented work was to study the relationship of psychophysiological parameters with indicators of stress-overcoming (coping) behavior in adolescents who have undergone COVID-19. The study included 54 students of Kemerovo State University, who were divided into a group of COVID-19 patients and a group without symptoms of the disease. To assess coping behavior, the questionnaire «Ways of Coping Question-naire» was used (Folkman, Lazarus; adaptation of Kryukova et al.). An automated computer complex “PFK” was used to study psychophysiological indicators. The following psychophysiological indicators were evaluated: simple visual-motor reaction, complex visual-motor reaction, anticipations and delays in assessing the reaction to a moving object, concentration and volume of attention, brain performance, the level of functional mobility of nervous processes, short-term memory for numbers and words, random access memory. According to the results of the correlation analysis, the interrelations between avoidant forms of coping behavior, such as “distancing”, “escape-avoidance”, “positive reassessment” with indicators of memory, attention, mobility of nervous processes, the number of inaccurate reactions to a moving object and the working capacity of the brain were recorded, which indicates a link between the increase in psychophysiological and cognitive disorders and preference in choosing care from stressful situations after a disease. Deterioration of memory and functioning of the nervous system lead to more frequent requests for support from others to receive additional help from them. The weakening of the nervous system also leads to more frequent use of productive coping strategies “taking responsibility” and “planning problem solving”, which, at the same time, additionally make it possible to compensate for cognitive impairments by performing tasks more accurately. In the group that did not have symptoms of COVID-19, no significant correlations were found between coping avoidance strategies and psychophysiological or cognitive impairments. Based on the results obtained, it can be assumed that the restoration of cognitive functions during psychocorrective work will make it possible to actualize the patient's choice of productive coping strategies and switch to a healthy behavior model.
