SELF-REGULATION AND MENTAL HEALTH IN THE EXPERIENCE OF PSYCHIC TRAUMA

Mental health is understood by experts as "an integral characteristic of the full value of humans’ mental functioning". Efficiency (primarily professional activity) and the ability to interact effectively with the outworld, to solve interpersonal and social problems successfully, and to build positive relationships with other people are considered to be the most important criteria of mental health. The solution to problems in these areas is a comfortable relationship with their own subjective reality, with those mental phenomena that form the inner picture of the world with a conscious and justified by life experience «I»-position . Each person creates a subjective reality that provides them with psychological comfort and the opportunity to cooperate productively with objective reality. The psyche and psychic phenomena are defined precisely through the category of the subjective: the psyche is interpreted as a "subjective image of the objective world" or "inner subjective world".
