EC Psychology And Psychiatry

The article examines two hypotheses about the nature of personality formation in ontogenesis. The author adheres to the second, believing that personality develops in adolescence and youth under the pressure of society; at the same time, a restructuring of his psyche and “I” occurs. The logic and stages of the process of personality formation are outlined: the formation of prerequisites (“vital catastrophes”, patterns and language with the help of which the individual reaches a new understanding of the world and himself in it), the exit from the “prima” of childhood and the transition to the reality of the “I”, attribution I characteristics that attract the individual, finally, a change in the reality of the “I” under the influence of failures in real behavior and activities. Some features of the modern situation that complicate the process of personality formation are discussed.
