"PRALOGICAL" PARAMETERS OF THE PSYCHE IN-DEPTH COGNITION METHODOLOGY

Abstract

The works presents an actual problem for practicing psychologists, regarding both the nature of psyche phenomena, and the methodology for its cognition. We focused our research at the archaic heritage of the psyche, which allowed to state a special role of the pralogical thinking of the subject in the formation (and in objectification) of the inner, unconscious, stabilized contradictions of the psyche. The articles proves the impotence of logical thinking of the subject both at the level of detection of the personal problem in its destructive impact on the psyche, and possibilities for its resolution. The very existence of pralogical thinking processes, as well as its impact on the social and perceptual perception, is outside the consciousness of the subject. This context of the studies defined the formulation of the problems associated with the study of the characteristics of the pralogical psyche initiatives objectification in the observed plane when using visualized tools. The solution of the problem, set in the topic of the article, entailed the need to clarify the corresponding methodological and pralogical parameters of the ASPC process which create favorable conditions for in-depth cognition of non-experiential (archaic) formations. The study determines how the opportunities for the research of the pralogical determinants of the subject’s personal problems, as well as diagnostic and corrective methods to resolve them; discloses the pralogical essence of the implicit order found when the respondent was ranking the visualized self-representations (especially topical psychodrawings and reproductions of paintings) according to their emotive significance. In-depth cognition of the psyche promotes the development of the subject’s logical thinking due to the optimization of the social and perceptual intelligence.
