Basic Self-Help Technologies in the Process of Psychological Practice

Abstract

Ways of helping themselves by psychologists and psychotherapists are still not structured and described in psychological science and practice. Although, there is a need for this, especially among psychologists of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the State Service of Ukraine for Emergency Situations and other departments. The purpose of the article is to describe scientific and practical recommendations on algorithms for the use of leading self-help technologies by psychologists in the process of psychological practice. The conducted scientific research made it possible to establish that psychologists and psychotherapists use certain psychotechnologies for self-help in such spheres of influence as bodily, bioenergetic, emotional and cognitive. Basically, these psychotechnologies are integrative, that is, they are aimed at several spheres of influence at the same time. The scientific novelty of the article is that I: for the first time: 1) conducted a survey of practical psychologists and psychotherapists regarding the psychotechnologies that they use in the process of psychological practice; 2) systematized psychotechnologies by spheres of influence; 3) four types of psychological activity of the "Helping those who help" direction (psychotherapy, supervision, advanced training and professional development, self-help) are identified and their main functions are determined; the algorithm for applying some exercises and techniques was further developed in accordance with modern realities and the achievements of psychological science. The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that the algorithms of self-help psychotechnologies described by us will contribute to: 1) increasing the level of professional development of psychologists; 2) prevention of professional burnout among psychologists; 3) normalization of their physical and mental state, etc.

Keywords: exercise; psychologist; psychotechnology; self-help; technique.
