Abstract

It is determined that prolonged military trauma can lead both to negative (PTSD, decrease of one’s level of psychological health), and to positive effects (post-traumatic growth, activation of life-creation). It is shown that the negative effects of trauma are manifested at the socio-psychological level of life-creation as the decrease of propensity to cooperate, the ability to empathize, the loss of confidence in the world; at the value-semantic level as the loss of the ability to seek new life prospects, deterioration of experience comprehension, reduction of the capability to enjoy everyday life; at the individual psychological level as an experience of cleavage, violation of integrity, destructive changes of identity, reduction of the need for self-fulfilment, reduction of balance and adaptability. Among the strategies for post-traumatic growth facilitation there were singled out the development of the ability to interpret positively military traumatism; re-thinking of the spatial characteristics of the life world through sympathies-antipathies reformatting, in-crease of empathy; restructuring of a lifetime through the ability to sense creation restoring; changing attitudes towards oneself through the mobilization of self-preservation and self-recovery resources.
