Conclusion In our opinion, modern psychological science
requires what the founders of deep psychology de-
cided to do at the time – to show a person another
side of their mental life that is ignored and under-
estimated by them.
If the enlightened nineteenth century, bowing
to reason and the highest achievements of the
human spirit, turned away from the unconscious
manifestations of the soul, considering them neg-
ative, in the twentieth century there was a long ne-
glect of just the healthy components of the psyche,
arguments about which often seemed too banal,
abstract and leading away from understanding the
true nature of man.
Psychopathology was the starting point for
most fundamental psychological theories of per-
sonality.
This led to the formation of empirically based
ideas about the suffering soul, neurotic personality,
split «I», to the construction of complex and claim-
ing to be universal models of human existence,
full of inevitable deep contradictions. It was only
in the second half of the twentieth century that a
well-defined and theoretically justified transition to
the humanistic model of personality was outlined.
In contrast to adaptive personality models, many
of which focus on errors and failures of adaptation,
humanistic psychology is a psychology focused on
the study of healthy and creative people, on under-
standing the constructive, creative manifestations
of human nature, which is its scientific specificity.
In Russian psychological science, the rise of re-
search interest in the field of health psychology
falls on the last decade of the XX century. Currently,
there are many productive ideas and concepts that
indicate the need for a comprehensive approach
to the study of human beings and emphasize the
importance of spiritual, moral and value-semantic
determinants of mental health of the individual.
