Socio-psychological rehabilitation: Acquirement steps of personal viability
Abstract
The socio-psychological rehabilitation of the individual is seen as a step-bystep process aimed at reducing the negative effects of traumatic events or getting into a high-risk situation. Among the leading steps in strengthening of psychological health of a person experiencing the consequences of traumatic events, there are determined the restoration of viability resources and the actualization of the rehabilitation potential of the individual. According to our empirical data, we have found that intensive psychological involvement in the situation of threat and potential traumatization frees up the natural individual forms of counteraction against the danger that unfolds in the area of such coping-mechanisms as "confrontation – avoidance". It is shown that the resources of viability, which reflect the mechanisms of external risks neutralizing, are manifested in such features of dynamic adaptation as riskiness and patience. Due to the interpretation of empirical data it is studied the rehabilitative socio-psychological potential of the respondents, which largely consists of the ability for social support, the ability to positively rethink the difficult situation, the ability to judiciously relate to risky, traumatic events. It is determined that the main task on the way of achieving viability is the reconstruction of basic rehabilitation resources. These resources are attributed to those internal human resources (first of all, trust in others and belief in controllability of events) that will allow them to make positive decisions in any, even very difficult life situations. The trust in conjunction with faith is a universal rehabilitation resource which unfolds all the diversity of the individual life construction. It is noted that a separate step towards the personal viability acquisition is the formation of responsibility for own safety, health, and life construction
