“…Both creative, flexible thinking and empathy deficits have been found in stress-related psychopathologies like depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Chamberlain et al 2006;Cusi et al 2011;Donges et al 2005;Lee and Orsillo 2014;Morrison et al 2016;Nietlisbach et al 2010;Palm and Follette 2011;Parlar et al 2014). Hallmarks of these disorders are repetitive and rigid patterns of negative and compulsive thoughts, together with social difficulties and impaired empathic abilities (Aldao, Nolen-Hoeksema, and Schweizer 2010;Beck 1967;Dos Santos et al 2016;Morrison et al 2016;Nietlisbach and Maercker 2009;Todd et al 2015), the latter of which, most evident in depression, may contribute to more pronounced symptoms (Cusi et al 2011;Donges et al 2005).…”

Creative thinking and empathy are crucial for everyday interactions and subjective well-being. This is emphasized by studies showing a reduction in these skills in populations where social interaction and subjective well-being are significantly compromised (e.g., depression). Anecdotal reports and recent studies suggest that a single administration of psilocybin can enhance such processes and could therefore be a potential treatment. However, it has yet to be assessed whether effects outlast acute intoxication. The present study aimed to assess the sub-acute effects of psilocybin on creative thinking, empathy, and well-being. Participants attending a psilocybin retreat completed tests of creative (convergent and divergent) thinking and empathy, and the satisfaction with life scale on three occasions: before ingesting psilocybin (N = 55), the morning after (N = 50), and seven days after (N = 22). Results indicated that psilocybin enhanced divergent thinking and emotional empathy the morning after use. Enhancements in convergent thinking, valence-specific emotional empathy, and well-being persisted seven days after use. Subacute changes in empathy correlated with changes in well-being. The study demonstrates that a single administration of psilocybin in a social setting may be associated with sub-acute enhancement of creative thinking, empathy, and subjective well-being. Future research should test whether these effects contribute to the therapeutic effects in clinical populations.

Использование метода игротерапии в процессе коррекции внутрисемейного общения дошкольников Введение. Выявлены особенности использования психологами метода игротерапии в процессе коррекции внутрисемейного общения дошкольников. Обосновано влияние формирующей и корригирующей функций игротерапии в ситуации нарушения детско-родительского отношений. Цель-подтвердить эффективность использования метода игротерапии в процессе коррекции нарушений внутрисемейного общения дошкольников. Методология. Проведены теоретический анализ, наблюдение, беседа; формирующий и констатирующий эксперименты. Применены пять методик: диагностика родительского отношения (А.Я. Варга, В.В. Столин); социометрическая проба «День рождения»; проективная методика «Рисунок семьи» (интерпретация Г.Т. Хоментаускас); тест тревожности (Р. Тэммл, М. Дорки, В. Амен); методика определения самооценки. Все этапы исследования (диагностический, коррекционный и контрольный) реализованы на базе детского сада № 457 «Ласточка» г. Челябинска. Результаты. Авторами обобщен опыт использования игротерапии в формирующих и коррекционных целях. Проведен комплекс диагностических методов, позволяющий определить возможные нарушения в детско-родительских отношениях. Составлен и проведен комплекс оригинальных игровых упражнений. Выявлен психотерапевтический эффект, который проявился в таких результатах, как снижение уровня тревожности ребенка, снижение явных признаков эмоционального конфликта и недовольства семейной ситуацией, повышение эмоционального предпочтения родителей, братьев, сестер и других родственников, что свидетельствует об улучшении взаимоотношений в семье, снижение числа родителей с авторитарным контролем и увеличение-с высоким уровнем принятия. Заключение. Проведенное исследование позволило авторам раскрыть возможности и подтвердить формирующую и корригирующую функцию игротерапии при возникновении нарушений внутрисемейного общения, а также для коррекции детско-родительских отношений. Оригинальный комплекс игровых упражнений авторы рекомендуют использовать на занятиях в специализированных группах, на фронтальных занятиях в детском саду и в домашних условиях, во время досуга.

“…It may be characterized by behavioural inadequacy and ambiguity of attitude. Adults define such characteristics as abnormal and incompatible with social rules (Morrison et al, 2016). Adolescents are also prone to such common internal conflicts as being irreconcilable with iniquity, unfairness and falsehood and eager to fight injustice, but unable to navigate through rough times; having a desire to pursuit the perfection, but being intolerant to edification and direct influence of older generation; wanting to prove oneself, but not knowing how to do it properly; being in need for advice and support, but reluctant to consult with a more experienced adult; and having too many desires and needs, but too little knowledge and expertise to fulfil them.…”

State anxiety describes a condition when confronted with a specific situation causing genuine concerns.High school students may face such a situation in the preparation for state examinations. Thus, we aimed at not only studying state anxiety in such students, but also at performing psychocorrection of this condition using a specially created programme. The psychocorrection programme is designed to establish the basis for and develop a positive mindset towards the upcoming challenges, or the state examinations, to help students understand their goals and priorities, to teach them techniques of relaxation and muscle and mental tension relief, breathing exercises, and control of emotions. The programme was implemented in the Rudny school No. 2 in the Kostanay region of Kazakhstan. The sample comprised 25 students, including 14 female and 11 male students. We applied the technique proposed by Charles D. Spielberger and adapted by Yu.L. Khanin, the state anxiety scale by Kondas, and the Non-Existent Animal projective technique. As seen from the findings, in the process of psychocorrection the normal level of anxiety started to prevail. The success of state anxiety correction in high school students is linked to the increase in their self-esteem and selfconfidence, their mastering of the muscle and mental tension relief techniques, and the development of their self-control skills
