Ecopsychological approach to psyche development: stages, prerequisites, constructs

Abstract

Background. The anthropogenic pressure on the natural and social environment increases the ecopsychological research. On the eve of the 110th anniversary of the RAO Psychological Institute, it is important to conduct a historical and theoretical analysis of the development of an ecopsychological approach to the development of the psyche, indicating the importance of such prominent scientists of this institution as V.V. Davydov, G.A. Kovalev, A.I. Mirakyan, F.T. Mikhailov, etc. 

Objective. To describe the methodological prerequisites, theoretical constructs and stages ecopsychological approach to the development of the psyche being. 

Methods. Historical and theoretical analysis of the methodological prerequisites, theoretical constructs and stages ecopsychological approach to the development of the psyche being. 

Results. There are three stages in the formation of ecopsychological approach to the development of the psyche. First stage — academic topics “Ecology of childhood” and “Gifted student”. The second stage was devoted to the development of the main theoretical constructs, including the idea of the psyche as a form of being, relationship “individual — environment”, the ecopsychological typology of subject-environmental interactions, and the ecopsychological model of the formation of agency. The third stage — paradigmatic analysis of the definition of the psyche as an object of research within the framework of epistemological, ontological and transcendental paradigms. Four forms of existence are distinguished psyche as an object of study: become, alienated, generated and virtual. 

Conclusion. The obtained results suggest that in the future such an approach will make it possible to study the emergence of not only individual mental phenomena, but also ways of thinking that determine one or another scientific paradigm, not only in psychology, but also in the natural sciences.
