The problem of Mental Health Care in the contemporary world becomes global with many negative consequences. Thus, according to the World Health Organization, mental and behavioral disorders are extremely common and affect up to 25% of all people in certain periods of their lives. The WHO notes that in the future, given the aging population and worsening social problems, the number of cases of this category will increase considerably.
Each country in the world faces significant hindrances in both socio-psychological and economic aspects of the Mental Health Care system. No country has yet completely solved this problem in full. This create an urgent need in joint efforts to solve this problem. 

The conference aims to:
1)attract attention of world researchers to problems of MHC in developing countries and to global MHC problems
2) investigate perspectives and solutions of specific issues of MHC in multidisciplinary and multicultural aspects. To facilitate pooling researches to effectively solve global MHC problems
3) provide the platform for exchanging of ideas, building of academic networks, developing of future collaborations between researchers across the different regions of the world.

"HEALTH" CONSTRUCT IN THE STRUCTURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS OF STUDENT YOUTH

Zhytomyr state university named after Ivan Franko;
Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman

The article reveals the results of empirical research of social ideas of students about health, namely - the features of systematization, the content of this construct, and the presence of line of conduct of recreational behaviour in young people`s minds. The methodological basis is principles of the theory by S. Moskovichi on the essence and nature of social ideas which construct and define the social nature of cognition of certain groups and indicate a certain attitude towards social objects. It has been proved that the most appropriate in these circumstances is the application of the psychosemantic method (by V.F. Petrenko), which allows to study features of stable social ideas of student youth regarding health by means of using the capacities of the Statistics 13.0 program. The article states that subjective ideas regarding the health status of freshmen and fourth-year students differ in the direction of increasing realism and absence of declarativeness in judgments of senior students. Reconstruction of the psychosemantic space of "health" construct revealed four relatively independent factors: "health-promoting circumstances", "evidence of health", "methods of health-improvement" and "health benefits" which determine the main tendencies in the attitude of student youth to health. In accordance with the obtained results, the conclusions have been made on the necessity of developing state, public and personal programs which should orient, organize and motivate young people towards choosing actually effective health practices.
Keywords: "health" construct, social ideas regarding health, subjective ideas regarding own status of health, mental health, psychosomatic well-being.

Zhytomyr state university named after Ivan Franko;
Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman

Professional burnout is an indicator of an psychosocial state of a teacher, and his psychosocial welfare is an indicator of University’s human capital state. The aim of the article is to investigate the signs of job burnout of professors in modern conditions as well as to discover the appropriate ways of its overcoming by means of an organization which structure is more flexible compared with public institutions. The questionnaire of the emotional exhaustion level diagnostics of V.V.Boiko has been chosen as the main diagnostic instrument. The research methodology has been complemented by the authors’ questionnaire to itemize organizational conditions and to obtain subjective evaluation of the system of factors which cause neuro-emotional stress of professors. The results analysis shows an escalation of the emotional exhaustion syndrome among professors of modern higher educational institutions. The traditional factors have been weighted down with stresses originated from the educational institution. The essential role in the occurrence of negative psycho-emotional states of teachers is performed by the organizational stress, which the administration is mainly responsible for. With the general systemic negative issues on the background the serious source of stress is organizational problems and changes in educational institutions. Systemic measures aiming at creation of an amiable psychosocial environment are expected to be the job burnout prevention and job burnout overcoming resource for professors. The creation of an internal social cultural space will mitigate the impacts of the external environment and allows to develop new plans of personal professional development for every teacher. 
Key words: emotional burnout, mental health, professional health, teacher, high school.

INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPMENT AND PERSONALITY SOCIALIZATION

Chernihiv National Technological University

The article analyzes the basic concepts of the role of person intellectual potential in the adaptive possibilities development. Based on the analysis of facts from literary sources and the results of author’s studies, it describes the value of human intelligence as a universal form of adaptation in society. The author develops the concept of intellectual education, which involves along with cognitive processes (the transfer to the young man of the knowledge about the environment around the world and the methods of its scientific study) the implementation of the psychological function – the formation of the subjective world of personality.
If the intellectual capabilities of the individuals are reduced, they are forced to act on the basis of simpler, primitive forms of regulation, which are formed spontaneously in the form of stereotypes and patterns of behavior, learned at somewhat lower levels of instruction. It should be noted that stereotyped can be not only forms of behavior, which are manifested in certain situations, but also the values that guides the individual in making a decision. 
Key words: Intelligence, socialization, adaptation, personality, intellectual education, mental development.

POSSIBILITIES OF COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORK IN THE PROCESS OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS INCLUSION INTO THE NEW TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES

Lviv Polytechnic National University

Resume. Socio-psychological adaptation of the displaced persons to the conditions of host communities and, concordantly, search of the tools for their successful inclusion into a new social environment is considered to be one of the burning issues in the context of the migration processes in Ukraine in 2014-2017. In this article the possibilities of the implementation of different social work models with the communities aimed at integration of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) into the new territorial communities are justified. The fundamental principle that should be considered by a social worker- services provider lies in maintaining a balance between the person and the environment, as well as understanding that a new environment may become both the source of stress and desadaptation, and the resource in the problem solving process. Implementation of the “local development” model allows to intensify public initiatives, and to consider the IDPs interests together with the interests of the host communities in their attempts to find solutions of common problems. Implementation of the “social action” model is connected with engaging the IDPs into active advocacy of their own rights, drawing attention to unresolved problems, and establishing a dialogue with the authorities. The “social planning” model allows to focus on building a network between displaced persons, state social services, and NGOs for the sake of high quality services provision to the IDPs.
Key words: community social work, social work models of services provision in the community, socio-psychological adaptation, internally displaced persons (IDPs), host community.

THE IMPACT OF INTERPERSONAL CONFLICTS ON MENTAL HEALTH OF THEATER ACTORS

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management

Conflicts and their relationship with mental health always go hand in hand, especially when it comes to theater actors. Despite the enormous role of the theater in the spiritual life of society, there are many contradictions that lead to conflicts that have negative consequences for the creative process and the integrity of the theater. Psychological methods of maintaining mental health actors in modern conditions of transformation of Ukrainian society are insufficiently developed in the scientific literature. This research is an attempt to study the factors affecting the quality of mental health in actors, which was conducted for ten years. Subgroups of actors were solicited separately: soloists, ballet dancers, chorus, orchestra. Based on the results of the study, the specificity of the experience of conflict situations in each group was determined. Three main types of employees of the theatrical collective in the style of interpersonal communication are singled out: conflict, passive and benevolent, where it was found a weak but statistically significant link between the expressiveness of the styles of behavior in the conflict situation and the divisions of the theater. The influence of the personal characteristics of members of the theatrical collective on interpersonal conflicts is stated. In particular, according to the characterological features of the actors, the negative accentuations of the cyclotomic, pedantic and hypertensive types were found to be negatively influenced, especially in the theater department such as the ballet. The results obtained were used as the basis for the development of a training program aimed at overcoming conflicts and preserving the mental health of actors.
Key words: creativity, conflicts, mental health, actors.

INTEGRATED REHABILITATION PROJECTS FOR CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES

Abilità per crescere, President – Italy

The rehabilitation approach of “Abilità per Crescere” ONLUS stems from the desire to take care of disabled children and their families by enhancing their quality of life and responding to their needs in every respect, through the implementation and management of an integrated set of activities and services: rehabilitative, health, social, scholastic and economic. It is necessary to be aware of their feeling of discomfort with respect to the parameters of the “normal” society. Therefore, the rehabilitation project, for its effectiveness, should be deeply integrated within specific social contexts, starting looking at policy level at the services ensured by public health system in the field concerned: as soon as specific problems are identified, a personalized support path is planned and implemented for each child, according to her/his specific needs.

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (Ukraine)
Oleksandr Dovzhenko Hlukhiv National Pedagogical University (Ukraine)

Emotional comfort of a child with cerebral palsy in a family environment is an important condition for the child's rehabilitation and development, adaptation and social inclusion. In order to effectively carry out the social work with families raising such children, professionals require a body of knowledge about the psychological characteristics of parents, children and other family members, as well as mastery of modern diagnostic and correction technology. 
The purpose of this study is to determine the typology of families having children with cerebral palsy, by a composite indicator of the family's psychological and educational adaptation to disability of the child, and degrees of its formation on the basis of a comprehensive socio-pedagogical diagnostics. 
The results of the study, which were put into practice in rehabilitation centres in Luhansk, Sumy, and Donetsk regions of Ukraine, show that taking into account the developed typology of families during social work with them in the rehabilitation centre environment has allowed, based on their social, psychological and pedagogical features, to effectively solve the problems of such families. The encouragement of parents to collaboration, improvement of their pedagogical culture and productive emotional adaptation have contributed to the socialization of the child with CP, development of his/her natural abilities; it has raised the degree of psychological and pedagogical adaptedness of the family to the disability issues of a child, creating the conditions for social inclusion of the family.
Key words: socio-pedagogical diagnostics, pedagogical culture of parents', family climate, psycho-pedagogical adaptation of the family to disability of the child, socio-psychological adaptation of the child with CP.

INNER EXPERIENCE OF SELF-INTEGRITY AS THE BASIS OF ADOLESCENTS’ MENTAL HEALTH

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management of Ukraine

The work is devoted to the study of the inner experience of self-integrity as the basis of a growing person’s mental health. Importance to study the system of interrelations of a person’s self-image with other structural personal constructs is noted. These interrelations constitute personal experience wholeness and integration or vice versa disintegration during the person’s adaptation to the socio-cultural environment.
A fragment of a psychologist's work in the framework of the proposed author's model is shown, in particular, psychodiagnostic capabilities of the "Emotions, sensations and experiences" technique, serving as a benchmark for further work with adolescents. Adolescents with high and average levels of anxiety, aggressiveness, hostility, low self-esteem, avoidance of difficulties, frustration have been determined empirically. Adolescents with high and average rigidity have been also determined. 
It is argued that the most effective methods for the correction of emotional disorders and self-image are the association methods allowing lowering of the use of protective mechanisms during working through a person’s traumatic negative experience, causing aggressiveness, anxiety and frustration at adolescents. Through their application, the process of self-knowledge and self-understanding is implemented, activating the desire to design consciously own Self.
Key words: self-image, anxiety, aggressiveness, mental health, wholeness

ETIOPATHOGENETIC BASES OF DEVELOPMENT OF REHABILITATION POTENTIAL IN PATIENTS WITH RETT SYNDROME

Interregional Academy of Human Resources Management,
Bogomolets National Medical University

The aim of the work is to present the results of studying the rehabilitation potential of patients with Rett syndrome and its etiopathogenetic foundations. The methodology of the study is based on an integrated approach to the development of etiopathogenetically substantiated treatment and rehabilitation techniques for diseases of the autism spectrum based on personalistic anthropology.
Based on immunological studies, a role in the etiopathogenesis of Rett syndrome of herpesviruses due to immunodeficiency, genetically due to folate cycle failure, has been established.

THE PARADOX OF THE NEED-MOTIVATIONAL SPHERE OF PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM ORTHOREXIA NERVOSA

Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University

The purpose of the study is to highlight the phenomenon of extremely common eating behavior disorder - orthorexia nervosa. The research is one of the first attempts at empirical study of the specifics of the genesis of orthorexia nervosa in contemporary Ukrainian society. The research was carried out during 2015-2016. The peculiarities of the sphere of needs and motivations of individuals with signs of orthorexia were empirically studied. The sample comprised 260 people, men and women of middle age, all residents of Kyiv. The methodological basis was provided by the following methods: “the method of pair comparisons by V.V. Skvortsov”; “Rome Questionnaire of Orthorexia Nervosa” (ORTO-15); “Multidimensional scale of perfectionism” questionnaire by P. Hewitt - G. Flett. А significant prevalence of orthorexia in contemporary Ukrainian society was noted (66.6% of the subjects) during the study. It turned out that social needs were least important for respondents with orthorexia; more important were the need for security, self-actualization, and, most importantly - the need for self-affirmation. A direct connection was established between orthorexia, perfectionism and the need for self-affirmation and self-actualization. The results of the study proved that ORTO-15 questionnaire has its own limitations as a diagnostic tool, since it does not determine the tendency to orthorexia due to the influence of social environment and fashionable preferences. Diagnostic criteria for orthorexia, suggested by Morrows, also require further refinement. There is an urgent need for further study of this disorder, improvement of existing and invention of new methods of diagnosis of orthorexia, expansion of the range of research, as well as introduction of global experience of practical work with people with eating behavior disorders in contemporary Ukrainian practice of psychotherapy.
Key words: Orthorexia nervosa, eating behavior disorder, diet, perfectionism, obsessive-compulsive disorder.

PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS IN A FAMILY WITH A PSYCHOTIC MEMBER

Mental HealthNurse, Msc Environment and Health, Aiginiteio Hospital, Athens.
Ministry of Health and welfare, Athens, Greece.
State Mental Hospital of Attica, Daphne, Athens, Greece

Introduction. The role of the family in the complete treatment of mental disorder, especially of the serious and chronic form, is considered to be extremely important as the family is the main natural supportive system for the patient and the basic, often the unique source of care for him.
Various interventions have been developed that target both the patient and his / her family in order to meet the needs of families and contribute to better prognosis of mental illness.
These interventions follow the principles of the psychoeducational approach to the family and a number of research and meta-analyzes have underlined their positive effect both in improving the course of the patient's illness and in improving the family atmosphere and the overall quality of life.
The signs for family therapy come from the view that any individual change in behavior requires a change in the behavior of family members.
Key words: Psychoeducation, Family therapy, Mental illness, Psycho-education benefits.
Purpose The aim of this work is to record the psychoeducation programs in mental illnesses and to present the benefits of psychoeducational intervention both to mental sufferers and families and / or caregivers of them through a bibliographic review.
Methodology A bibliographic search was made by the Scopus, Ebsco, Pubmed, Wiley electronic databases, 31 articles from Greek and foreign literature were separated and studied. Information was sought from EKEPSYE.
Conclusions The family therapy is indicated after the patient's first hospitalization, as the patient is partially in remission and the family that face the first episode is in a state of crisis and must realize that the improvement will be slow. The family's usual practice of denying the psychotic episode often intensifies the family stigmatization wich associated with the disease.
The mental illness has adverse and sometimes disorganizative consequences for the patient; at the same time has repercussions to the family as it affects all aspects of psychoemotional and social life. The family members, when they learn that there is one of them suffering from a serious mental illness, they find it difficult to accept and are in difficulty becoming reconciled with the new reality. The emotional burden of the family is often unbearable.
There are feelings of frustration and disappointment, guilt and shame, anxiety and fear, dissatisfaction and anger, bitterness, sadness and despair. Most of the time, they cannot express these emotions because of the negative image of mental illness but also of the influence of negative social stereotypes on the mental sufferer.
Today, the research data underline that psychoeducational of family therapy interventions are effective in delaying and preventing of relapse, especially in population of psychotic patients who are in contact with their relatives.
It is also noted that such efforts seem effective for different types of psychosis and can be applied in different environments.
In a family that a member suffer from a mental illness, the rationale for therapeutic intervention in the family is based on research that has shown that the family factor is related to the prevention of relapses.
The psychoeducational intervention combines the education in social skills and is the core of the social rehabilitation of the psychotic individual.
There are three main objectives:
1. To educate the patient about the close relationship of schizophrenia and stress and the importance of compliance with medication.
2. To increase the ability to solve problems related to environmental stress.
3. To educate the family and the patient in strategies to cope with pathognomonic persistent symptoms of schizophrenia or cope with environmental stress.
The family therapy with a psychotic member aims to eliminate the pathological communication and the alliances that be noticed within the family.
The experiences acquired from family therapy at Mental Health Centers are significant and positive. A large number of families have been helped, in relationship problems, in the treatment of psychopathological conditions due to the presence of a psychotic member, in the reduction of dysfunction or in separation issues. Thus, an intervention plan has been formulated, which seems to provide efficacy in treatment.
The psychoeducation stems from theories of expressed emotion, while the family education is based on theories of stress, treatment and adaptation.
The family education and therapy is aimed at the well-being of all members, while the psychoeducation aims to treat the patient effectively and to maintain the balance.
Results The family education helps the members to be more "efficient" in interventions for their mentally ill patient and to achieve better results when is grouped, as in this way promotes the exchange of views and the mutual encouragement.

THE CARE OF CHILDREN’ MENTAL HEALTH AND PREVENTION OF MENTAL DISORDERS IN EU

National University of Life and Environmental Science of Ukraine

The right of a person to mental health should be considered in the context of the legal status of certain groups of persons (women, children, migrants, refugees, etc.). For the purposes of this article, we will consider the right of children to mental health. The choice of this category of persons is due, in particular, to the steady increase in the number of nervous, unbalanced, hyperactive children with mental disorders, both in Ukraine and in the world as a whole. The future mental health of the nation depends on the extent to which the growing person will be provided with conditions that would guarantee mental health, optimal physical, spiritual and social well-being. Proceeding from the general principles of the European vector of development of the state, the formation of an institution for the social protection of children and the implementation of European standards of children's right to mental health in order to create favorable conditions for the formation of future generations is the most important task for Ukraine.

THE LEGAL REGULATION OF CHILDREN'S RIGHT TO MENTAL HEALTH IN THE EU

National University of Life and Environmental Science of Ukraine

Mental health is one of the important objects of the EU social policy. In addition to the prevalence of mental illness, the importance of developing a single EU policy to promote mental health for citizens is conditioned by the close link between mental illness and suicide, a significant burden on economic, social and educational systems, as well as trends in discrimination and stigmatization of people with mental illnesses, which is incompatible with the values of the EU. 
The aim of our scholarly work is to explore legal regulation of children's right to mental health in the EU. Special attention was paid to Mental Health Declaration for Europe, European Mental Health Action Plan 2013 – 2020 and Green Paper improving the mental health of the population.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTICS OF PREDISPOSITION TO ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOUR

Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
 
Multidimensional manifestations of addictive behaviour complicate the possibility of its prevention. The purpose of our research is to determine the parameters diagnosing a person's predisposition to psychotropic substance use. We take as a point of departure the assumption that there are psychological peculiarities that are a kind of "weak link". Namely, these peculiarities determine the desire to change a person’s emotional state artificially. The experimental study of the parameters diagnosing predisposition to addictive behaviour has been performed by us for 15 years. Three groups with 90-100 adolescents in each were studied: well socially adapted adolescents - a "normative" group; socially maladapted adolescents who, however, did not use psychotropic substances; adolescents using psychotropic substances episodically. The study results show that the desire to use psychotropic substances is a symptom of a more general personal ill-being. Neutralization of negative personal formations prevents appearance of psychological readiness for psychotropic substance use. 
Key words: addictive behaviour, personal predisposition, parameters, diagnostics, psychotropic substances, prevention.

HUMAN PERSONALITY IN THE COMPLEX WORLD: PLURALISM OF IDENTITIES AND THE PROBLEM OF WORLD-ATTITUDE

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management

The article is dedicated to the philosophical consideration of the problem of constituting the world-attitude in the situation of the complex world that serves as one of the key factors of the Weltanschauung disorientation that in turn leads to the decline in global health. Using post-non-classical methodologies and referring to the cases of social and political life in a nation state, the authors focuses his attention on the analysis of plurality of human identities as a problem that could not be solve by classical methods of the Modernity but requires the development of each personality as the subject of one’s own life. The shortcomings of the proposed approach could be defined as a lack of analysis of empirical data that should form the subject of separate study. Practical and social meaning of the paper lies in the attempt to manifest the philosophical and Weltanschauung base of the process and structure of human identity in the present-day world.

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management;
National University of Life and Environmental Science of Ukraine

The research is devoted to the actual problem of social and psychological adaptation of the wives whose husbands were injured in combatant operations. This problem isn't deeply highlighted in the scientific literature. The article represents the results of empirical study of the peculiarities of the adaptive potential of women whose husbands were injured in war activities. The methodological basis is the systematic approach to the interpretation of the concept of "adaptation of the person" and the conceptual position on the interdependence of the adaptive potential of a person. Criterias for research are cognitive, affective and conative components of social and psychological adaptation of women. As a result of the analysis revealed: the problem situation is characterized by actualization in women's minds of family difficulties, causes changes in family identity, increases stress resistance; Adaptation is carried out according to the deviant type (non-conformist), which predetermines the frustration of the need for self-actualization, causes psychophysiological exhaustion; The factors that cause a deterioration of the well-being of women is the cognitive dissonance in the system "I - the others", the divergence of value orientations of the individual and society. The basic set of adaptive mechanisms is determined empirically. The basic directions of psychological support of families of injured servicemen are determined.
Key words: family of servicemen, social and psychological adaptation, adaptive potential, psychophysiological condition of women

THE DIFFERENT CONCEPTIONS OF MENTAL DISABILITY IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES 

Progetto Filippide, President – Italy

The Association “Sport e Società Filippide per l’autismo e le malattie rare” represents an introduction program to Sports for people with disabilities. 
The Association was born in 2000. Actually, it consists of 20 sports associations widely distributed on national territory which support the Filippide program. Since 2010, the Association is one of the five Worthy Associations of the Italian Paralympic Committee and now it is a member of the Italian National Olympic Academy – AONI.
In particular the Program promotes the long-distance racing and swimming. 
In fact, experience suggests that swimming is considered the best sport for children with ASD due to its specific characteristics: a controlled environment, recalling the prenatal intrauterine life, reassured by the continued supervision and presence of the coach.
The activities of the project are divided for three different age groups:
Children: first approach with water and swimming;
Teenagers: swimming and preparation to competition;
Adults: long-distance racing. 
In all circumstances, a subject with ASD is followed by an operator with a one-on-one relation, in every phase of the activity. The task of the Operator is to mediate between the subject with ASD and the technician, following him/her in the athletic training, guiding him/her along the path towards autonomy, even in the changing room. In swimming, specialized federal instructors work always in a one-on-one relation with all learners, the operator follows them before and after the swimming lesson, and also during meals in the mess hall. The choice of running and swimming as matters of engagement for people with ASD is not accidental. Running is nothing more than a succession of steps prolonged in time, it is circular, the same gesture is repeated, thus the stereotyped movements of a subject affected by ASD is recalled. (Movement and gesture repeated with no meaning). While running, attention and focus are channelled on the gesture that is happening, thus finalized at achieving objectives decided by the trainer and shared with the athlete.
Swimming, as already mentioned, revokes the prenatal intrauterine environment for children. In fact, the controlled space of the swimming pool limited by the lanes is more suitable, comforting and reassuring for children. For these reasons, swimming is definitively the best option to be introduced in Sports. 
On 13th June of 2016, the Project Filippide took part in the X Conference of the United Nations on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities with a speech to the General Assembly of Member Countries.
In 2017, thanks to the approval of the ECAP project submitted under the Call for Proposal Erasmus+ for Not-for-Profit European Sport Events, the Filippide Project, in collaboration with Autism Europe, has analysed the state of the art in the field of sport activities for children with ASD .
A little collection of statistical data:
1.	The incidence of ASD  in Europe is 1/100;
2.	In European Union there are about 500 million people (updated at 2013);
3.	Among the 28 members countries, each one has fewer than 180,000 people affected by ASD . 
As a result of our analysis, in EU Member States there isn’t a univocal and uniform way to consider, evaluate and support a person affected by ASD  in the medical, psychological and sportive fields. 
Moreover, there are no Sportive Association in Europe dealing only with ASD. In fact, persons with ASD  are often considered as intellectual and relational disabled, or even denied in the field concerned. 
In conclusion, our analysis shows that there are three different ways to approach disability and ASD:
1.	Neo-Latin approach, that involves Inclusion;
2.	Anglo-Saxon approach, with its well-defined and specific paths for disabled and non-disabled people;

NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZAZTIONS ENGAGEMENT FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION : THE EXPERIENCE OF SOCIAL COOPERATIVES IN ITALY – A MODEL TO BE REPLICATED AS A SUCCESSFUL BEST PRACTICE

FIA - Fede In Azione, President – Italy

The simple and brief definition of co-operative is “an enterprise owned and self-managed by its associates that can also be its workers”. A firm where every associate worker is also owner and involved in decisional actions in a democratic way 
The first embryo of worker’s co- operative rose during the Industrial revolution and had different developments along the centuries in terms of composition of the associates, core activity of the co-operative, impact in the territorial context of reference .
Independently from the core activity the co-operative is an enterprise that embraces the needs of its associates is run by them for their mutual benefit and can produce benefits also for others in the society.
In particular “needs” can be various as educational and welfare services. 
In 1991 the Italian Legislation fostered national expansion of such co-operatives through a framework law for fiscal and legal control of the now SOCIAL CO-OPERATIVES. This new juridical entity is great added value for the society because it can provide assistance and services to support or replace the institutional
 activities destined to disable persons. Specifically for disability we can refer to mental disability, physical disability or social disadvantage .
Furthermore the great characteristic of Social Co-Operatives is that they must include as associates 30 % of working -associates with disadvantage “ mental, physical or social .
We face now an extraordinary tool, easy to replicate and socially effective “for” and “with” the involvement of disable people otherwise destined to the sideline of the communities.

 PALLIATIVE CARE AND MENTAL HEALTH IN ALGERIA: WHERE IS IT IN 2017?

Mohamed Lamine Debaghine, Sétif 2 University

The link between the desire to fight, the quality of the morale of some patients and their healing or remission is no longer to be demonstrated. Generally causing psychological, spiritual and even social symptoms and sufferings, incurable diseases (Cancer, AIDS) appear in the foreground, the patients of which do not respond to the curative treatment. But they do not belong exclusively to biology and medicine, leaving psychology in the background; for the tragedy of these diseases can not leave anyone indifferent. It brings us back to human finitude and confronts us with it. Palliative care, therefore, is strongly needed in these cases. The different definitions proposed and attributed to this care do not determine the methods, approaches and techniques to be used, while the objectives and elements to be taken into account are prescribed by several references and researchers and bodies such as the WHO. As a result, palliative care appears to be more complex and not just to the medical side; because the psychic aspect remains important, even necessary. We will present in this article the results of an investigative research project aiming at: the state of the palliative care in Algeria and focusing on the psychoclinic aspect and its place in this care.

THE PECULIARITIES OF EMOTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN WHO SURVIVED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THE TASKS OF PSYCHO-CORRECTION. 

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (Ukraine)

The research is aimed at analyzing the psychological characteristics of women who survived domestic violence. The choice of the object of research is due to the high level of aggression in the Ukrainian society, in particular, in the families. The outlined problem is not that new for Ukrainian scientists, however, for the first time, the research is carried out on the basis of revealing stereotypical emotional reactions that determine the level of adaptability of an individual. Thus, the domination of dysphoric and refractory types of emotional responses to external stimuli was empirically proved. According to the study, women who survived domestic violence are prone to morbidly diminished mood. The above mentioned determines a high level of socio-psychological maladaptation, the main factors of which, according to the results of the study, are: low self-esteem, rejection; emotional discomfort; dependence on others; desire for subordination, passivity in problem-solving, escape from difficulties. The main task of psycho-correction is substantiated: orientation towards the formation of adaptive forms of behavior, positive emotional response, reduction of anxiety, insecurity, and sensitivity. Elaboration of effective methods of psychoprevention and implementation of the world practice of women’s victim behavior/mentality correction is an actual prospect for the further scientific research. 
Keywords: family violence, type of emotional response, factors of maladaptation, psychocorrection, symbolic drama.

BEYOND BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL: A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH

National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine
Kyiv University of Culture

The complex multifaceted essence of human as a biological, psychological, social being has attracted the attention of researchers and has caused hot debates during centuries. Still now, human being, her/his nature requires a broader understanding in the context of the synthesis of long-standing philosophical, psychological, religious traditions and contemporary sciences. A profound comprehension of the phenomenon of human, her/his nature is essential for clinical psychology and psychiatry. 
The study of mental disorders is usually based on a particular model of human that can be defined as biopsychosocial. Although almost all researchers agree that biological, social and psychological factors are inextricably linked, there are significant differences in determining the causes of disorders, and accordingly in choosing treatment methods for them. Some scholars emphasize the predominant role of biology and neurology in mental health and human conduct. They consider that the tendency to provide predominantly nonspecific care even in serious situations, which require medication, does not benefit patients. On the other hand, their opponents support the idea that social, environmental dimension of human comes to the fore and professionals have to focus on these factors. 
Although scientists are still that focused on the “nature-nurture” dichotomy, today we have come to the conclusion that the correct answer to this difficult question is neither biology nor social/cultural factors but their particular combination. Human mind and brain are not independent entities - on the contrary, they represent the different aspects of the same reality. The modern world demonstrates an urgent need for an integral, holistic paradigm of a human. Awareness of the integral unity of human nature attracts the attention of researchers to the expansion of the functional field of treatment options for the various mental disorders and related psychosomatic diseases. 
Through the lens of the unity of body and spirit, oriental practices are becoming increasingly popular in the Western world. In recent years, body-mind practices, such as Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, meditation, have been recognized by professionals in the field of mental health. Their positive impact on stress, anxiety, depression, chronic diseases is well-known. Their incorporation into our daily life brings many benefits. Nowadays, contemporary science is actively exploring the effect of spiritual and physical practices, which expand consciousness, on physical and mental health. However, additional multidisciplinary research and unbiased analysis of the results is required. 
The expansion of the cognitive horizons also led to the revival of psychedelic medicine. For contemporary brain researchers an exploration of psychedelic drugs, which alter the “normal” brain state, is a way of studying human consciousness, modeling certain pathological conditions and their potential treatment. “This is to neuroscience what the Higgs boson was to particle physics”, professor D. Nutt emphasizes. An effective treatment for people with mental disorders should be based on a new transdisciplinary paradigm of human and implemented by an interdisciplinary team of specialists.
Keywords: mental health, mental disorders, biopsychosocial model of human, biological and social factors, holistic medicine, body-mind practices

STUDY THE EFFECTS OF VEGETARIAN DIETS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEPRESSION

Bogomolets National Medical University

Purpose: to study the influence of the psycho-emotional state of vegetarians with a help of scales of depression, to establish a correlation of changes in the type of depression with the concentration of serum vitamin B12.
Methodology: 5 groups of people were analyzed: vegetarians (42 persons), vegans (61 persons), semi-vegetarians (14 people), lactovestarians (12 people), adherents of the traditional nutrition model (54 people). They filled out QIDS questionnaires and Beck depression inventory. All groups were compared with omnivores.
During the second phase of the study, two groups were selected: vegans (15 people) and omnivores (15 people). In these groups, the concentration of vitamin B12 in serum was measured and the effect of reduced concentration of vitamin B12 on the development of depression was studied.
Results. The frequency of depression among the groups was studied, which is: vegetarians - 43%, vegans - 30%, semi-vegetarians - 43%, lactovegetarians - 33% and omnivores - 47%. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency and severity of depression among the subjects. In the vegan group, a significantly higher number of subjects with vitamin B12 deficiency was identified in comparison with omnivores (p = 0.015). The level of vitamin B12 in the blood does not affect the presence of depression in groups of vegans and omnivores (X2 = 0.045, p = 0.833 for QIDS).

EUROPEAN STANDARDS FOR THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN TO MENTAL HEALTH

National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine

The right of a person to mental health should be considered in the context of the legal status of certain groups of persons (women, children, migrants, refugees, etc.). For the purposes of this article, we will consider the right of children to mental health. The choice of this category of persons is due, in particular, to the steady increase in the number of nervous, unbalanced, hyperactive children with mental disorders, both in Ukraine and in the world as a whole. The future mental health of the nation depends on the extent to which the growing person will be provided with conditions that would guarantee mental health, optimal physical, spiritual and social well-being. Proceeding from the general principles of the European vector of development of the state, the formation of an institution for the social protection of children and the implementation of European standards of children's right to mental health in order to create favorable conditions for the formation of future generations is the most important task for Ukraine.
Key words: mental health, children's rights, legal regulation, prevention of mental health, early psychological help.

PHENOMENOLOGY OF PERSONALITY CHANGES UNDER POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management of Ukraine

The article deals with the pressing issue of phenomenology of personality changes under post-traumatic growth. According to modern studies, traumatic events do not always inevitably lead to psychiatric disorders or dysfunctionality of life, they can also cause productive changes in the personality's life, so-called the post-traumatic growth. Scientific sources on the problem researched give grounds to believe that positive effects of post-traumatic growth are manifested in three main areas: attitude towards oneself, interpersonal relations, and philosophy of life. Research materials have been collected based on the analysis of domestic and international scientific professional psychological editions and periodicals for the period 2006-2016. It has been established that post-traumatic growth, in addition to qualitative transformational changes, can contribute to preservation, recovery and improvement of the personality's state of mental health as the highest individual and social value that promotes its social and psychological adaptation to the new forms of comprehending the reality. 
Keywords: traumatic event, post-traumatic growth, positive changes, transformation, mental health, personality.

IMPORTANCE OF INDEPENDENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS’ PSYCHIC HEALTH

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (Ukraine)

The article presents the empirical study of the importance of the “independence” value in the context of future specialists’ psychic health. The article reveals correlations between the “independence” value and such students’ personality characteristics as internal and external motivation, beliefs about independence, an internal role position - functional ego-states, the power to build psychological boundaries, revealing information on the students’ internal and external spaces as an indicator of their psychic health.
The article shows that the “independence” value determines a number of the respondents’ personal characteristics: the higher importance of the “independence” value is the higher indicators of internal motivation, the deeper belief that the independence can be acquired (and it is not inherent) and it is a constructive personality trait, the higher self-esteem of independence, self-regulation and motivation, the internal role positions of “Parent-Controller” and “Quiet-Neutral boundaries” in relations with other people is used more often. 
The deep mechanisms that hinder the future specialists’ independence formation are revealed: co-dependence, anti-dependence, false self, fear of existential loneliness. The conclusion is made that the independence is the result of a person’s internal work, his/her ability to set not only individual goals, tasks, but also determine the whole direction of own activities.
Key words: independence, values, psychological boundaries, motivation, role position, mental health.

MASS MENTAL DISORDERS OF CIVILIAN POPULATION IN THE CONTEXT OF ARMED CONFRONTATION (HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE)

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management

The purpose of the study is to analyze the influence of external factors on the state of public consciousness, in this case these factors are periodically changing authorities and long-term fighting. The method was the analyzing of an array of historical documents of various origins. On the basis of generalized information from newspapers, memoirs, letters, official documents, the following results were obtained.
The events of the revolution and the civil war of 1917-1920 caused a deep psychological trauma for the population of Ukraine. Its characteristic features in the first period were a constant sense of anxiety, aggressiveness and intolerance towards others, massive pessimism, inadequate reactions for any reason. On the other hand, the townsfolk sought psychological protection in unreasonable optimistic rumors that periodically arose in the urban environment and never justified. Over the time, fatigue from endless external threats accumulated and reflected in mass apathy and indifference to any political process. At least a relative stabilization of situation became the main psychological need and people were ready to give up most of their rights and freedoms for it.
The unconditional lack of our research should be considered the inevitable fragmentation of the documentary base and the subjective nature of documents of personal origin. The declared subject has not yet been encountered in Ukrainian historiography, and work in this direction deserves to be continued. 
Nevertheless, the conclusions made on the basis of the results of the study can be used already as recommendations for the forehanded prevention of the negative consequences of distancing from the political sphere of the society that is developing in the mass consciousness.
Keywords: mass psychology, psychological defense, aggressiveness, apathy, mental transformations, psychological state.

Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadim Getman

The purpose of the article is the identifying criteria of the constructiveness of personal reflection (as a factor of the mental health, the personality`s optimal functioning), the describing the constructive and destructive reflective styles that determine the success of overcoming problem-conflict situations, the determining the relationship between the destructive style and the features of adaptation and behavior. On the results of correlation analysis were determined that students with a pronounced destructive reflective style rarely use sense-making operations, but they use the strategy of retread from the environment`s contact and flooding in the inner world that activates their metacognitive activity. The author suggested that constructiveness-destructiveness could be considered as phases of microcycle that composes the process of formation and development of the personality's reflective capacity, the character of which depends on the level of the formation of reflective practices. The author considers that the formation of the constructive style of overcoming problem-conflict situations through the phase of «destructiveness» is a factor of stable mental health and personal well-being.

INTEGRITY AS A FACTOR OF MENTAL HEALTH IN THE CONTEXT OF THE INTERDISCIPLINARY PROBLEM OF PERSONAL SELF-CONSTRUCTION

Interregional Academy of Personnel Management of Ukraine

The urgency of the problem is due to terminological differences and differences in its interpretation, the lack of developed psychological theories and models, as well as contradictions existing within modern society. The purpose of the study is to provide theoretical substantiation of the structural and functional aspects of the phenomenon of integrity in contextually substantiated representations of mental health and the process of personal self-construction. As a research criterion, a synergistic approach is used that allows us to consider the integrity factor as an unstable universe that prepares a person to overcome crises and disasters with minimal losses. As a result of the analysis it was established: violation of the integrity (fragmentation) of the individual, which entails the propensity for the emergence of psychosomatic pathology, can be distinguished in a separate group of maladaptive states, border disorder and psychosomatic diseases with symptoms of bulimia, depression and aliysity. By comparing the existing theoretical definitions of the violation of the integrity of the individual, it has been established that the destructive psychological mechanism is the fragmentation and insufficiency of regulatory activity, which ensures an active creative attitude to personal self-construction. The results of the research can be used in the development of educational and educational programs for psychologists, social workers, medical services and other professionals who, by the nature of their activities, contact with this category of persons.
Key words: personal self-construction, fragmentation, disorders with symptoms of bulimia, depression and alexithymia, integrity factor as an unstable universe.
