In Who Are the Most Exceptional Clinicians? the authors dispute the assumption that the great writers and theorists were also great clinicians. If fame and notoriety do not make a great therapist, then what does? The effectiveness of the core conditions are highlighted, as well as personal characteristics, such as charisma, relational skills, knowledge and wisdom, and other personal qualities that often get little exposure in mental health literature, such as being fully present in therapy, the presence of a strong moral code, sensitivity, flexibility, and honoring the complexity of the individual. Ultimately, successful therapy is likely more dependent on therapists finding their own voice, as opposed to emulating a famous icon, who may have never been that good in the first place.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the structure of the image of the older adolescent’s world. When analyzing the data, the computer program of statistical analysis of texts “ADVEGO”, content analysis, morphological and semantic analysis was used. Morphological analysis of empirical data has shown that the most used words belong to the category of nouns. Content analysis made it possible to identify eight semantic categories of word groups that characterize the levels of the image of the teenager’s world: nature, social, subject, friendship, school, hobbies and leisure, family, mental (needs, cognitive processes, emotions, feelings, personal qualities). The most significant level in terms of the volume of semantic units and the nature of ongoing processes is the mental level. The results of the conducted research allowed drawing the following conclusions. The individual structure of an older adolescent’s world image is a complex mental phenomenon that has universal, age and individual characteristics. Its universal characteristics are multi-levelness and hierarchy; age-related – dynamics, polarity, existentialism, and accentuation on the present time. The individual characteristics of an older adolescent’s world image are due to individual personal characteristics of the flow of his or her mental activity.

The mental health of the individual, being the highest part of the human mind, is developed and structured as a result of the influence of society. The requirements for athletes are rapidly increasing, which is the source of the emergence of contradictions in the "society-personality-health" system and the reason for poor health. Therefore, a practically significant and urgent problem of sports science is the study of ways to ensure sports longevity and maintain health while justifying the mechanisms for mobilizing athletic performance. The aim of the study was to identify changes in personal qualities and the relationship between mental health components at different stages of sports activity, as well as building a model of the mechanism for mobilizing the athlete's mental and physical performance. Research methods and organization The study involved 75 people practicing boxing, judo, sambo. These were highly qualified athletes - Candidates for Masters of Sports, Masters of Sports, Masters of Sports of International Class. Diagnostic methods: Freiburg FPI multi-factor personality questionnaire; Cattell’s 16-factor personality questionnaire; Questionnaire for the severity of psychopathological symptoms (SCL-90) and G. Ammon's I-structural test (ISTA). Research results The research revealed that in a situation of uncertainty and even imaginary vulnerability and danger, the core component of the functional transformation of negative personal qualities into positive ones is the stressful effect of reality, its reflection in one’s mind, and the athlete’s conscious semantic assessment of his actions and their consequences. It leads to the creation of willpower, fortitude, and to an energy-informational upsurge. Conclusion We have demonstrated relationship between personal qualities of an athlete that change at different stages of his sports activity. We have revealed the dependence of their activity on the constructive, destructive or deficit form and the manifestation degree, and their role in the mobilization of performance. We have found close correlation between different forms of aggression, anxiety, internal and external self-delimitation, which can have the exact opposite effect on the performance and mental functions of athletes.
