Journal Title: Psychological journal - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper represents the initial theoretical statements and practical principles of the Multimodal Suggestive Psychotherapy (MSP). It is mentioned that the MSP is an original system of psychotherapeutic aid in case of different mental and behavioral disorders. It is shown that the MSP creatively modifies the ideas of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, as well as suggestive and existential ones. The main theoretical statements are based on the conception of adaptive suggestive modification of thinking. The key goal of the MSP is to develop adaptive thinking. It is shown that correction of a world vision is a necessary component of a whole complex of measures for development of adaptive thinking. It is represented the standard working model for correction of a world vision that includes: removal of information gaps; hierarchical matching of basic values systems; neutralization of pathogenic cognitive processes; formation of motivational goals; restoration of a general energy balance for mental processes. There are the main sources of dysfunctional ideas – “self-centric” consciousness; quasi-finale of conclusions; spontaneous reduction of cognitive structures. It is proposed the strategy of suggestive psychotherapeutic influence that is constructed around the idea of the personally ideal lifestyle. It is shown that the main tool of psychotherapeutic influence has to be suggestive persuasion in a wakeful state. There are considered the following ten key methods of multimodal suggestive psychotherapeutic influence: complex verification of inference, psychotherapeutic hypotheses, attitudinal suggestion, suggestive modeling of the future, provocation of physiological and mental stresses, immersion into reality, suggestive pressing by setting conditions, psychotherapeutic confrontational suggestion, actualization of creativity, psychotherapeutic travel alone. It is shown that the key method of this system is Psychotherapeutic confrontational suggestion. It is determined that the MSP allows to give aid to humans suffering from the following illnesses: neurotic and caused by stress somatoform disorders; non-complicated affective disorders; disorders of habits and attractions; sex dysfunction; disorders of sleep, eating behavior, etc.
