Abstract

The problem of adaptation to professional activity of specialists of extreme kind of activity and the steps of psychological assistance to an individual at this phase of professional development are analyzed in the article. Professional adaptation is complex, multidimensional and long process. Its psychological support requires special psycho technology, consultation that takes into account the mechanisms of adaptation, the specificity of professional activity in extreme conditions, personality traits of specialists. Psychological consultation of specialists of this category during the adaptation phase to professional activity includes two main directions: Providing conditions for relatively adapted specialists aimed at forming effective internal adaptation. Methodical work with patients who have difficulties with the adaptation, personal semantics, motivation and psycho-regulation, aimed at forming of realistic self-esteem, professional identity and "self-concept", professional motivation, also it aimed at improving communication potential and at developing and strengthening self-control. The study of the dynamics of the level of personality adaptability before and after psychological counseling showed that as a result of the counseling conducted, the psychological stability and behavioral regulation, the adequacy of the perception of others and their own personality significantly increased. Such changes are due to the fact that during the advisory sessions a lot of attention was paid to the problem of self-regulation, both in the theoretical and in the applied aspect. Mastered special receptions, discussed and simulated situations in which it is necessary to use different techniques that help stabilize the mental, emotional state of specialists. Customers have become more favorable to other people, less conflicting and timid in their contacts. They feel emotionally comfortable in different situations, at least in those that previously caused them unnecessary stress. We believe that this will facilitate their faster adaptation to professional activities, to professional communication. The suggested approach is more effective for adaptation in sphere of social interaction with subjects of professional activity. Also, mental health and behavioral regulation, self-perception and the perception of others of the specialists-patients significantly improved.
