Essay

The dissertation is aimed at studying the system of personality dissonances, which cause a wide range of psychological issues and motivate the subject to find a relevant form and content of assistance. The general mechanism of formation of system dissonance of the person is established. Personality dissonances are manifested in unbalanced mental contradictions at the emotional, cognitive and behavioral levels of self-regulation. The position is grounded that the system of dissonances of the personality underlies all spectrum of mental frustration, in particular neurotic. The difficulty of solving psychological problems associated with personal development lies in the double contradiction of mental development at the intra- and interpsychic levels. А stabilized personality problem manifests itself in heightened emotional ambivalence, cognitive absurdity, and behavioral destructiveness. It is explained that this is a consequence of the inability of the subject to reach another stage of mental development, inability to carry out a typological inversion of personality. An assumption is made that at the heart of the formation of personal dissonances are the difficulties of inversion of mental development. A typology of personalities has been created, the dynamics of changes of which is ensured by the search for the balance of the basic mental contradiction. Factors of psychophysiological inversion of personality at the level of emotional reactions, which acquire binary form and contradictory content, are determined. Emotional ambivalence is the result of the formation of an inadequate neuropsychological response of the individual, which does not acquire sufficient mental integration. It is revealed that the inert ultra-paradoxical stage of parabiosis becomes the psychophysiological basis of consolidation of personality dissonance. This circumstance causes a double psychophysiological inversion. It leads to the structuring of the binary emotional reaction and the opposition of its antagonistic elements. From a psychophysiological point of view, personal dissonance is the inability of the subject to finally inhibit the binary emotional reaction. The structural and functional feature of the human signal-sign system, syncretic nature of the formation of its sublogy and the specifics of cognitive inversion in a situation of unbalanced mental contradiction of personality is shown. We received data, that absurdity is the initial form of cognitive assessment of reality, which is only partially subject to de-absurdization. This makes it difficult to follow the rules of formal logic. The scheme of formation and leveling of cognitive contradictions of the personality is developed. Dissonance of personality at the cognitive level becomes possible only in a situation of inability to integrate the absurd. This inevitably leads to the realization of the absurd and its necessity to neutralize (de-absurdize). The expediency of looking at the dissonance of personality as an inadequate version of the communicative process is substantiated, which forms a destructive line of mental development. The regularities of inversion of the communicative circle of the subject, which do not contribute to the solution of personal problems, but stabilize the dissonance of personal development are revealed. The ideas about the socio-psychological roles of the subject's environment are deepened; the original register of the main contractors which promote development of personal dissonance is established. The psychodynamics of personal development due to the change of communicative triangles is shown. A structural-functional model of personality is proposed, which allows to analyze the dynamics of its systemic dissonance, shows the essence of personality disintegration and conditions of formation of its repeated pathological integration. The principles of subpersonal analysis of personality and its pathologization are developed. Ontogenetic aspects of subpersonal development are characterized, genetic factors of their dichotomy, specifics of correspondence in congruent and pathological states, features of psychodynamics at all stages of pathologization and constructive reintegration are analyzed. On the example of the characters of classical literature, a holistic and systematic analysis of personality dissonances, manifested in unbalanced mental contradictions at the emotional, cognitive and behavioral levels is shown; the structural inversion of their personalities is disclosed.
