The article presents the problem of archaisms, their energy influence on the human behavior in the integration unity with the ontological aspects of human development. The paper integrates the latest ideas of «non-classical psychology» (L. Vygotsky, A. Asmolov, D. El’konin, etc.), which determines the dynamics of the psychology development from statics to the psychodynamic approach to the study of the human psyche. The archaic heritage, as argued here, can not be studied independently from the personalized-individual human psyche. The article emphasizes the energу «doubling» (amplification and direction) of the psyche’s motivational potential due to its phylogenetic nature. The greatest achievement of the archaic heritage of mankind is the archetype as an instinct, which provides the ability to transcode the ideal psychic reality into the materialized and objectified one with the preservation of information equivalents. Therefore, it is impossible to perceive archaisms beyond the archetypal symbolism. The above mentioned explains the archaic origins of the successful use of the artistic works reproductions in the deep perception of the psyche. The article focuses on the archaism of guilt, which derives from the Oedipal complex and is also of an archaic origin. The category of guilt and the feeling of guilt respectively correlate with the conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche. The effectiveness of «Super-Ego» is revealed in the guilt emergence. The article is completed within the psychodynamic paradigm and is based on the empirical material of the deep knowledge of the subject's psyche.

The training of specialists, whose profession is related to direct contact with other people, requires attention in the aspect of their personal psycho-correction. In our time, the most common are social studies, which are oriented to the development of certain forms and behavioral skills. In the context of the psychodynamic approach (developed by a group of Ukrainian researchers), the center of attention are the cognitive preconditions of communication, which are influenced both by the conscious and the unconscious sphere. The study's orientation on the knowledge of the psyche in its integrity requires consideration of the fact of the functional asymmetry of the conscious and unconscious. The research is based on the possibility of uniting these two spheres in the addition in the process of deep knowledge of the objectified means (which are close to the language of the unconscious) and providing a dialogic interaction between the psychologist and the respondent. The content of the article proves that, under the above conditions, the procedural diagnostics, in accordance with the portions and multilevelness of the dialogic «pas» of the psychologist with the respondent, is provided in the groups of the ASPK. The empirical material represents the possibility to verify the dynamics of the entrance of the external world's factors in the inner. The next stage relates to the translation of the representation plot, which is revealed in a dialogical form, through the use of residual traces, that acquire a semantic (motivational) activity. Dialogical psychoanalysis (presented in the article) confirms the effectiveness of diagnostic-correctional work through the drawings.

AbstractPsychodynamic theory and practice has evolved from its psychoanalytic roots. The modern psychodynamic approach is among the most inclusive and versatile schools of thought available to therapists. With both cross-cultural application and a growing evidence base, psychodynamic therapy is practiced in many countries and cultures around the world. The dynamic approach is a system that touches on human development, personality, mental disorders, and of course, therapy. This article presents an overview of contemporary dynamic theory, its underlying philosophy, and its main objectives.

Jung dealt with the concept of the trickster archetype in many of his works. References to his interpretations of the impact of this archetype and the myths associated with this figure are also scattered in many places of his works devoted to various issues. The notion of the archetype is extremely complex in his grasp, and the ways of understanding it are evolving, similarly to the concept of the unconscious. These evolutions are related to the transition from the plan of patterns of individual human development, to the development of the species, to the recognition of the very patterns of the development of reality, so they contain references to the psychological, anthropological, and philosophical levels. According to Jung, the trickster archetype expresses –in the most general terms –the conflict of these patterns, which introduces a certain factor to the development process that is both disharmonizing and dynamizing at the same time.

As a form of moral debate, discourse ethic, according to Habermas, is based on regulated discussion. Participating moral agents share a common understanding in the ideal speech situation. Following procedures they try to reach consensus on questions of justice and rights. Critics of discourse ethic point to the bias of Western assumptions regarding agents and methods, the danger of elitism, and the optimism and the pacifism that run through the theory. After modification, Habermas distinguishes two types of discourse: the discourse of justification and the discourse of application. The second is inferior to the first. In the second, there is room for negotiating. There is another way of looking at negotiation, one that takes negotiating seriously as an important category of human behavior. This category shows an interesting overlap with moral behavior. Distinguishing four concepts of negotiating and using reciprocity and trust as the moral minimum, Negotiating Ethics is presented as a two level moral debate, close to Habermas but morally different in essential aspects.

We apply gender theory to understand the life of Thuy Kieu at the brothel of Tu Ba in relation to her entire life. We focus on analyzing memories, reflections, and pure love predictions in contrast to the days of exile at Tu Ba's brothel. We identify the levels of spiritual life, emotions, and sexual behaviors in relation to real situations, emotions, psychology, and human values. Expanding our comments, we discuss some opinions of Nguyen Bach Khoa, Ho Dac Duy, and Phan Que in explaining instinctive characteristics, humanity, and social conventions. The reality of action and the ability to self-sense about sexual acts shows the personality, bravery, and cultural depth as well as the rich spiritual world of Thuy Kieu. The article investigates, verifies the reality and the ideal, identifies the multi-personality characteristics of Thuy Kieu from the measure of instinct and individual human qualities, and contributes to affirm the creative talent of the great poet, Nguyen Du.

Finland and Sweden share the ideal of a Nordic welfare state, with gender equality as a central tenet. In both countries, right-wing populist parties have gained prominence in mainstream politics. Despite similar political agendas at the moment, these parties have different political histories, and different modes of expressing their anti-immigration pleas. In this comparative study, we examine how the distinction between ‘us’ and the ‘other’ is performed intersectionally in terms of gender, social class, ethnicity and ‘race’, and sexuality. For this purpose, we examine empirical material collected from the party newspapers of the Finns Party and the Sweden Democrats, because their content most closely reflects the ideological tenets of these parties. The chosen timeline stretches from 2007 until 2014 and entails the qualitative close reading of 16 issues of each newspaper. We evidence the dynamic between the intersectional analysis that fleshes out the reproduction of categories of difference, and the comparative analysis with its interest in temporal change and the resulting convergence between the two parties’ ideologies. We conclude that, although the Finns Party previously had a more pronounced anti-elitist rhetoric and resorted to class-based antagonism as a means to garner electoral support, it subsequently moved closer to the anti-immigration agenda around issues of protecting national identity and the welfare state that has characterised the political platform of the Sweden Democrats over the past decade. This temporal awareness allowed us to document the Sweden Democrats’ ideological consistency over the examined timeframe, emphasising the party’s quest to rebuild the (Swedish) ‘people’s home’ and to exclude the racialised Muslim ‘other’.
