Sidenko I. Depth Cognition of the Perinatal Symbolism through Visualised Representation of a Prospective Psychologist.

The dissertation presents the theoretical and methodological fundamentals of depth cognition, which is based on the spontaneous and involuntariness of behaviour, precision of a procedural diagnosis that is implemented in association with psycho-correction. The author's portrayal of perinatal symbols and spontaneous choice of art works copies (from a range of presented works), which have revealed elements of genital symbolism serve a hint towards a issue of "perinatal" period of formation of the subject's psyche. The proof of imperative effectualness of perinatal factors has objectified through the dialogical diagnostic-correctional process of depth cognition of the psyche. Consequently, the most significant finding of the dissertation is the fact that perinatal symbolism with its semantic parameters is not presented to the respondent's consciousness directly. Thus, it requires multilevel procedure of depth cognition.Owing to training in groups of Active Social Psychological Cognition (ASPC groups), a prospective psychologist acquires capability of personal growth because of development of reflective cognition and social perceptive intelligence.
