THE ISSUE OF COMPLEMENTARITY PRINCIPLE IN DEEP COGNITION OF THE PSYCHE

Abstract

The paper presents the approach applied for deep cognition of the psyche in its integrity (the conscious/the uncon scious). The functional differences between the spheres of consciousness and the unconscious in terms of their asymmetry have been discovered. The use of the complementarity principle borrowed from quantum physics has been substantiated. Particular attention is paid to the method of active psychosocial cognition (APSC), which is characterised by following “the phenomenon of the psyche” with orientation at reviving respondent’s self-preservation instinct, which is the basic and une qualled motivator for personality changes. Introduction of the complementarity principle predetermines the unity of the issue of providing people with proper aid and the tasks of scientific cognition of the phenomenon of the psychic.
