Tatiana Meiserskaya

The article focuses on the study of artistic ways of expressing the types of human anxiety that is manifested in private experiences of the characters of Serhiy Zhadan’s novels «Mesopotamia» and «Boarding School». It is established that the prose writer embodied various types of anxiety – basic, catastrophic, neurotic – which arise in crisis life situations of the characters and are related primarily to the unconscious protective mechanisms of their psyche. It was found out that the private anxieties of Zhadan’s novel characters are most often expressed in intrinsic impulses of aggressive or sexual nature (Romeo, Oleg), past experiences, fear of responsibility, inferiority complex (Pasha, Yura), fear ofpunishment (Mario) or threats from the environment (Yura), a neurotic desire to compensate for one’s own inferiority in the sphere of personal ambitions (Bob) or power over others (Marat). As one of the most prominent artistic embodiments of the psychology of anxiety, the reasons for its emergence and the reflection of the subjective mechanisms of its development, the author of the article identifies the structure of the characters: Marat and Sonya – as the embodiment of a whole bunch of neurotic anxieties, involving the existence of internal conflict, disruption of interpersonal relationships with a clear manifestation of aggressive (criminal or sexual) behavior;Yura, whose behavior reveals symptoms of catastrophic anxiety where his feeling of threat from everywhere leads to his own existence being threatened; children (Sasha and Pasha in the memories of their childhood from the «Boarding School», Dasha’s son from «Mesopotamia») as carriers of basic anxieties arising from childhood due to a number of misunderstandings with the adult world, which further provokes the feelings of their personal inferiority, behavioral anomalies etc. It is emphasized that the nature of the characters’ anxiety and anxiousness is somewhat irrational, that it is always «intrinsic», and that bodily symptoms – the visible «body language» – play a significant role in the reflection of the «invisible language» of feelings.

В статье раскрыта актуальность проблемы эстетического воспитания в трудах П. П. Блонского, отмечена значимость его педагогических идей для современной системы образования, обращено внимание на то, что значительное влияние на понимание ученым красоты оказала его семья. Показано, как П. П. Блонский оценивал способность к восприятию и оценке эстетических явлений и предметов у ребенка в разном возрасте. По его мнению, возможность определить красивое у детей появляется в период старшего дошкольного и младшего школьного возраста. У подростков эстетическое отношение сильно сливается с половым влечением и появляется восхищение красотой природы. В юношеский период морально-эстетические установки могут выступать, по мнению исследователя, в качестве защитных механизмов личности в ситуациях межличностной неопределенности для индивида. Описаны средства, которые предлагал использовать П. П. Блонский в целях эстетического воспитания школьников. Рассмотрены методы, предложенные ученым и имеющие ценность для развития эстетического потенциала современного школьника. Среди них наиболее интересным может считаться эстетическое воспитание учащихся на основе идей национального фольклора и искусства. Ученый исходил из того, что при социализации детей необходимо полагаться на старинное художественное творчество, поскольку оно ближе к народу. В этом основа генетического метода в воспитании, при котором ребенок на всю жизнь сливается с историей родной культуры. Он считал, что процесс воспитания будет более эффективным, если имеет двухсторонний характер: воспитательные воздействия и собственная активность школьника. Рассмотренные в статье методы, предложенные П. П. Блонским, с использованием современных технологий могут значительно расширить эстетический потенциал школьников. The article highlights the relevance of the issue of aesthetic education in P. P. Blonsky’s works. It underlines the importance of his pedagogical ideas for modern educational system. The article highlights that the scholar’s idea of aestheticism was largely shaped under the influence of his family. The article explains how P. P. Blonsky assessed young children’s ability to perceive and appreciate the beauty of objects and phenomena. According to the scholar, senior preschool children and primary-school children can fully perceive beauty. Adolescents, whose aesthetic experience is largely interconnected with sexual attraction, start admiring the beauty of nature. During the period of adolescence, moral and aesthetic guidelines often function as protective mechanisms in cases of uncertainty in interpersonal relationships. The article describes methods and tools P. P. Blonsky proposed to use in order to promote schoolchildren’s aesthetic education. The article focuses on methods and tools that can be used to develop the aesthetic potential of modern schoolchildren. One of such methods is aesthetic education of students through national folklore and art, which is exceptionally interesting and appealing. P. P. Blonsky maintains that children’s socialization is most successful if it relies on folk art and folk traditions, which is the principle of the genetic method of education and ensures children’s involvement with their native culture. The scholar believes that the process of education is more efficient if students’ innate desire to learn is accompanied by external support provided by teachers. The authors maintain that by combining P. P. Blonsky’s methods discussed in the article and modern information technologies, we can largely improve students’ aesthetic potential.

There is in the mind a mass of past experiences which cannot be readily remembered. We also know that while the individual is aware of some of the processes of elaboration going on in his mind, there are other mental processes which elude his observation. Both forgotten experiences and unrealized mental processes constitute material of which the individual was said to be “not personally conscious.” The modern psychologist says the forgotten memories and the hidden mental processes are in the unconscious or subconscious mind, a stratum of the mind below the threshold of personal consciousness. He bases this statement on the conception that while the mind is a complete entity, it is so disposed that while the contents of one portion can be at once investigated by the individual, the rest is not so easily explored. The accessible portion is called the conscious mind, the rest the unconscious. Dr. G. Stanley Hall compared the mind to an iceberg, floating in the ocean with one-ninth visible above the water and eight-ninths below, the visible ninth corresponding to the conscious mind, and the larger submerged portion to the unconscious mind. Before the time of Freud there was no satisfactory method of exploring the unconscious. Freud, when dealing with neurotic and mental patients, was dissatisfied with the results obtained by hypnotism. But he noticed that some experienced relief, and also improved, when encouraged to talk frankly about their anxieties and difficulties. He worked out a method of exploring the unconscious mind, called psycho-analysis, founded on the theory that dreams are not accidental or meaningless; interpreted by the method of free association, they constitute the royal road to the unconscious mind. Free association means that when the analysand is asked of what a particular item in the dream makes him think, he gives the idea that first occurs to him, however far-fetched or absurd it may seem, and then allows one idea to call up others without let or hindrance.

Walters, Eric. Fly Boy. Toronto: Puffin Canada, 2011. Print. What boy hasn't dreamed of piloting a high-performance military aircraft over enemy territory?  For young Robbie McWilliams, still only seventeen, that day can't come soon enough, so he takes matters into his own hands and enlists in the Royal Canadian Air Force with the documents of his deceased older brother. This is the premise of Eric Walters' YA novel Fly Boy, set in the middle of the Second World War. Walters has crafted a cleanly-written and realistic novel that gradually takes Robbie from the familiar school-like environment of training camp in Brandon, Manitoba to the air war over occupied Europe. Along the way, Robbie makes new friends; encounters elements of the adult world, such as drinking, gambling and inter-service rivalries; and comes to realize that war is not fun or glamorous, but indiscriminate and brutal. "Nothing would make me happier than to have it end today," he writes to his friend Chip. A foreword to the book by Flight Lieutenant Philip Gray voices the same message and vouches for the veracity of Walters' account: "most frightening of all, we were becoming really good at our jobs," he writes. The pace of the book is one of its pleasures. It takes almost half of the book before Robbie arrives "in theatre," and so the reader experiences the same anticipation mixed with impatience. Each aspect of the training regimen is given ample space to impose its strangeness on the young recruit, and these sequences are intercut with Robbie's letters home: to his mother to keep up the deception that he is at boarding school, and to his friend Chip, wherein he expresses his true thoughts. Robbie had entered the air force hoping to become a pilot like his father, a prisoner of war when the book begins, but his skills as a navigator see him fast-tracked at the expense of his dream. Good navigators are rare, and his country needs him to be one. Only eight of the twenty-six chapters are "action" chapters in the air, but this keeps them fresh, since an endless stream of missions would be too realistically monotonous. Instead, time is devoted to developing Robbie's relationships with his crew mates. The book also includes many small historical details, such as the contents of an escape kit or the meaning of specialized air force terms. Though the conclusion of the novel may be somewhat less than satisfying to some, it does, however, set up the possibility of a sequel quite nicely. Boys will enjoy reading this book, especially those interested in military history. Recommended: Three stars out of four Reviewer: John Huck John Huck is a metadata and cataloguing librarian at the University of Alberta. He holds an undergraduate degree in English literature and maintains a special interest in the spoken word. He is also a classical musician and has sung semi-professionally for many years.

Healthcare professionals who feel psychologically safe believe it is safe to take interpersonal risks such as voicing concerns, asking questions and giving feedback. Psychological safety is a complex phenomenon which is influenced by organizational, team and individual level factors. However, it has primarily been assessed as a team-level phenomenon. This study focused on understanding healthcare professionals' individual experiences of psychological safety. We aim to gain a fuller understanding of the influence team leaders, interpersonal relationships and individual characteristics have on individuals' psychological safety and their decisions to engage in voice or silence behavior. Thirty-four interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals from across five teams working within an acute, suburban hospital. Hybrid inductive-deductive thematic analysis focused on identifying themes which captured the complexities of individuals' varied experiences of psychological safety. The themes identified were: “Personal Characteristics,” “Past Experiences,” “Individual Perceptions of Being Valued,” and “Judged Appropriateness of Issues/Concerns.” These themes are explored within the context of motivating and inhibiting factors associated with the influence of leadership, interpersonal relationships and individual characteristics on experiences of psychological safety and voice behavior. These results extend existing theoretical frameworks guiding our understanding of psychological safety by accounting for the variation in individuals' experiences and studying these significant influences on voice behavior. Important considerations for the development of interventions to enhance psychological safety are discussed.

З позицій постнекласичної раціональності та пост-постмодерністських пошуків холістичного підходу до трактування психології особи як інтегрального суб’єкта життєздійснення висвітлено досвід за­стосування автобіографічного наративу в контексті управління і розв’язання складних (часто замі­щених) конфліктів у організаційному середовищі вищої школи. Стверджується, що такий наратив конструюється суб’єктом як автором власного життя й інсайдером у царині унікального життєвого досвіду та ре­пре­зентанта особистісно значущих прагнень і цілей. Діалогічна інтенція автобіографічного наративу по­тре­бує достовірного опису суб’єктивної реальності Автора у спосіб первинного феноменологічного вчування – за­нурення у світ інтимних переживань і метафоричних кодів несвідомого і вторинного дискурсивного впорядкування описаних подій та їх оцінок шляхом розгляду індивідуальної історії в контексті реальних міжособистісних стосунків (інтерпретація для себе і тлумачення для Іншого власної версії прожитого і пережитого). Аргументовано аксіопсихологічні критерії валідності автобіографічного наративу як засобу іні­цію­вання з боку керівника продуктивної діалогічної комунікації задля зміцнення здорових тенденцій роз­вит­ку освітньо-наукових організацій в контексті євроінтеграційних процесів, гармонізації персональних траєк­торій професійно-кар’єрного зростання у межах первинного колективу; посилення особистої відпові­даль­ності за результати морального самовизначення в критичних ситуаціях; формування толерантності до не­визначеності та готовності до ухвалення нестандартних рішень як можливості підтримати перс­пективні лінії розвитку, відкинувши ригідні, застарілі практики освітнього менеджменту. From the standpoint of post-non-classical rationality and post-postmodernist searches for a holistic approach to the interpretation of  person's psychology as an integral subject of life realization the experience of using autobiographical narrative in the context of managing and solving complex (often substituted) conflicts in the organizational environment of higher education is highlighted. It is stated that such a narrative is constructed by the subject as the author of his own life and the insider in the field of unique life experience as well as the representative of personally meaningful desires and goals. The dialogical intention of the autobiographical narrative requires an authentic description of the subjective reality of the Author in the way of primary phenomenological feel - immersion into the world of intimate experiences and metaphorical codes of the unconscious, and thus discursive ordering of the described events and their assessments through the consideration of individual history in the context of real interpersonal relationships (interpretation for himself and explanation of his own version of experienced to Another). The axiopsychological criteria of the validity of  autobiographical narrative as a means of initiation of productive dialogical communication by the leader for strengthening the healthy tendencies of the development of educational and scientific organizations in the context of eurointegrational processes, harmonization of personal trajectories of professional and career growth within the initial collective; strengthening of personal responsibility for the results of moral self-determination in critical situations; the formation of tolerance to uncertainty and readiness to adopt non-standard decisions as an opportunity to support promising developmental lines by having separated them from rigid, outdated practices of educational management are argued.

ABSTRACT: We review the concept of mourning, first as conceived by Freud and Klein, and how it relates with the contemporary “clinic of the void” as described by André Green. The clinic of the void is part of a series of modern manifestation of psychic malaise called “new symptoms”. To illustrate, we present the case of Roxana, a Mexican woman whose psyche reflected the dynamic of the dead mother complex. Through an analysis of her interpersonal relationships and past experiences, and comparing with psychoanalytic literature, we conclude that the dead mother complex might become a common condition in our society.
