PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY OF A YOUNG PERSONALITY: DEVIANOLOGICAL CONCEPT

Abstract

The article presents the deviant approach to one of the key problems of modernity - the psychological security of a young person. Personality and its psychological safety are considered in epistemological, functional, axiological and ontological terms. At the same time psychological defense is used to refer to any model of behavior that eliminates the moral and psychological discomfort of the individual. For self-security, six strategies are presented. Specificity of the phenomenon of psychological security of a young person, in the author’s opinion, lies in the recognition by the individual of his uniqueness, ability and readiness to develop his spiritual, moral and activity-constructive potential, harmonious relations and tolerance, regardless of the system of social relations what social status it has. It is pointed out that the psychological security of the individual - the unconditional value of human existence and one of its dominant needs - requires special attention from the patriotic authorities and the progressively-minded society, since other personal values can be realized if only personal security is ensured.
