Religious Faith as an Integrator of the Internal Contradiction of the Psychology of Personality

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the manifestations of integration and disintegration processes in religious faith. Attention is focused on the integration aspect of religiosity and the peculiarities of its manifestation in archetypal symbolism. It is argued that the subject's awareness of destructive tendencies by personality opens up prospects for their psychocorrection and weakening, that contributes to the development of the constructive forms of faith.
