Abstract

The article reveals the deep psychological mechanisms of functioning of the self-image of socially disadvantaged minors, which can be directly applied in the psychological practice of dealing with the specified category of children. A fragment of work with the application of the author’s model has been demonstrated, which simultaneously gives directions to psychologists and other specialists involved in the process of re-socialization of persons with deviant behavior. The proposed variant of work with socially disadvantaged minors makes it possible to both identify a psycho-diagnostic tool in accordance with the type of the deviants’ personality disorders and to select psychological techniques and methods of working with them. The content of certain theoretical concepts has been revealed that form the basis of the creation of the author’s model, in particular, those dealing with disorders of the self-image and other structures. In each particular case of working with a deviant adolescent or a group of persons with deviant behavior, there will be revealed a unique system of interconnections and interdependencies between the self-image and a psychological trauma; the self-image and a system of relations; the self-image and emotions; the self-image and values and attitudes; the self-image and the psyche’s protective mechanisms; the self-image and character; the self-image and behavior. At the same time, it is also noticed that interactions can be found in practice, for example, between relationships and character, between a trauma and emotions, feelings and experiences. And one can do it not only in the sequence that is proposed but can also approach it creatively adding new components to the model.
