The essence of the professional help provided by counseling psychologists can be defined through the categories proposed by L.S. Vygotsky — co-experiencing, and more broadly, co-living through fragments of the client's life, their problems and feelings, the outcome of which can be co-development, co-personal growth, and a growth in cultural co-productivity. Counseling activity can be viewed as psycho-hermeneutic, and its effectiveness largely depends on the nature of the counselor's understanding and interpretation of the material provided by the client. If we accept this position, then in the training of a professional psychologist, one of the main educational goals becomes developing an understanding personality in the professional — one oriented toward working together with another subject to make sense of oneself and to "complete the construction" of one's own meanings.
A psychological study of the 'doppelgänger phenomenon' allows us to put forward the hypothesis that its starting point is a fixation on the 'mirror stage' (per Lacan), which has a very serious and still insufficiently studied significance. An experimental study of individuals engaged in imitation games showed that they performed the 'Draw-a-Person' test in an unusual way: during testing, a duplication of the depicted figures occurred. The authors of the article suggest that this finding may indicate the emergence of new forms of understanding reality in the history of culture.
The decisive force is not participation in production, but the use of its products. This force creates society as an apparatus for the succession of generations. Its essential function is precisely genealogical. Built into the very existence of society is a screen that conceals the actual mechanism of power. The clock metaphor allows us to compare this screen to the dial (public power), and the actual forces of power to the clockwork mechanism.
The subject of this lecture is play from the point of view of psychology. Play is examined as a process which, in terms of behavior, represents a conditional modeling of real-life situations. Play has characteristics such as coupling weight and perimeter, and has a modeling aspect, an important side of which, in life situations, is reflection. Play also presupposes the internalization of rules.
Culture, cognition, understanding, communication, psychology, and the meanings of existence were always at the center of A.A. Brudny's attention. His works occupied, and still occupy, a leading position in understanding the place and possibilities of humankind in the world. This essay, based on Brudny's ideas, examines one of the most pressing problems — culture and the existence of humanity in this world.
The psychology of Kyrgyzstan is best characterized by the well-known aphorism of Ebbinghaus: psychology has a long past but a short history. The folklore and epics of the Kyrgyz people, existing for more than 1,000 years, contain many statements regarding the characterological features of personality, gender and psychological differences, the influence of language on behavior, and so on, but these ideas are not systematized to any significant degree. They attract the attention of language researchers
The publication “Communication and Self-Knowledge: A Guide to Psychological Safety” is a compilation of materials from the works of A.A. Brudny, aimed at understanding the psychological patterns of human life and building a psychologically safe environment
The IPBES assessment (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) is a critical assessment of the state of knowledge on biodiversity and ecosystem services, based on existing peer-reviewed scientific literature and other knowledge systems.
The Third National Report includes an analysis of activities carried out since the preparation of the Kyrgyz Republic's Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan.
At first glance, the title of the article may seem odd. Climate change is a natural process — what does gender have to do with it? Even if climate change is a consequence of human activity. But that is exactly the point. Human activity is not the behavior of a logical machine.
The Kyrgyz Republic is a mountainous Central Asian country located within two mountain systems — the Tian Shan (larger, northeastern part) and the Pamir-Alay (southwestern part).
Thanks to the mountain ranges that shield the reserve's territory from the winter intrusion of cold air masses from the northwest and east, a climate with relatively mild, snowy winters and warm, humid summers has formed here. B. P. Alisov and I. S. Lupinovich (1949)
