Abstract

In the article it has been considered and substantiated the theoretical and methodological foundations of the organization of group forms of work with psychotrauma in persons who have suffered as a result of hostilities, based on the introduction of methods of body-oriented psychotherapy. Body-oriented psychotherapy expands the possibilities of psychotherapeutic influence by considering the individual in the unity of its psychosocial and biological functioning. Group methods in working with post-traumatic stress disorders in working with children and families in difficult life situations due to hostilities are a system of psychotherapeutic influence that optimally combines body-oriented psychotherapy with elements of symbol drama, psychological debriefing, behavioral methods of psychotherapy, dance-movement psychotherapy, art therapy, psycho training, pharmacotherapy and other methods aimed at working with clinical manifestations of psychotrauma. The method of body-oriented psychotherapy in work with children and families affected by traumatic events can be a leader, both in working with distant clinical manifestations and to prevent the development of PTSD, in dealing with mental and physical aspects of functioning, resolving intrapersonal conflicts; determining the level of adequacy of self-perception and self-esteem; reducing the level of personal anxiety, mental tension, emotional lability. Its using helps children and families who have experienced traumatic events, with the help of motor psychotechnics to more accurately recognize and verbalize their own emotions, relive their past emotional experiences, thereby expanding the scope of self-knowledge and forming a more emotionally beneficial attitude. In addition, it makes a significant contribution to the further development of ideas about the mechanism of therapeutic action of psychotherapy, as changes that occur with clients (children and families who have experienced traumatic actions) and are the ultimate goal of psychotherapeutic effects affect different levels of body and personality.
