Most research on the pandemic today assumes that this situation is stressful and requires coping. The aim was to study subjective well-being in the situation of the pandemic and its relationship to coping and anxiety about coronavirus. 409 people filled Satisfaction With Life Scale, Scale of Positive And Negative Experiences, situational version of COPE, checklists assessing anxiety of infection and anxiety of the negative consequences of the pandemic. The comparison groups were three samples of 98, 66 and 293 people who filled Satisfaction With Life Scale and Scale of Positive And Negative Experiences in 2017 and 2019. There was a lower level of positive emotions among respondents in a situation of self-isolation, but the same level of satisfaction with life and negative emotions. Anxiety about the pandemic is related to higher negative emotions only. Emotionally oriented coping strategies and mental disengagement are associated with a higher level of pandemic anxiety. Problem-oriented and active coping strategies are weakly associated with lower anxiety that could be explained by the lack of ready effective methods of resolving this new and uncertain situation. Anxiety associated with current, acute and imminent risk (such as risk of infection), concentration on emotions and acceptance may not be dysfunctional strategies, as they are not associated with deterioration in overall well-being. On the contrary, attempts to cope with anxiety regarding negative consequences of a pandemic by mental disengagement, substance use and denial are associated with a lower level of satisfaction with life.

Статья посвящена проблемам понимания и диагностики антисоциального расстройства личности у подростков и юношей. Современные трактовки категорий «антисоциальное расстройство личности» и «психопатия» представлены в двух конкурирующих концептуальных подходах, возглавляемых Р. Хейром и Д. Куком. Применение этих диагнозов по отношению к подросткам остается проблематичным, однако можно выделить некоторые предикторы, указывающие на возможность развития таких видов расстройств личности в будущем. Особую проблему представляет методическая сторона диагностики антисоциального расстройства личности и соответствующих ему индивидуальных черт у подростков. Дальнейшее развитие этой области исследований будет способствовать формированию теоретической базы, методического инструментария и практики диагностики, профилактики и коррекции антисоциального личностного расстройства у подростков и юношей.

The paper reports the results of the analysis of modern notions about the economics of psychotherapy. Despite its great practical significance, this issue is insufficiently represented in Russian publications, arising mostly in foreign works. We consider two general concepts: efficiency and equity. The practice of research evaluation in psychotherapy distinguishes between (a) the efficacy of therapy — results of empirical psychotherapeutic research; (b) clinical (qualitative) effectiveness of therapy — results of psychotherapy in everyday practice; and (c) the notion of cost-effectiveness — a practical criterion; it characterizes the expenses for the achievement of a goal. Other expenses also ought to be taken into consideration. Additionally, we mark out progressive cost-effectiveness as a separate coefficient.

The paper presents a review of the studies on innovative suicide prevention strategies, methods, and approaches to diagnosing suicide risk. We examine the results of the studies that allow developing new approaches to creating effective suicide risk assessment tools, based on building a trusting relationship with the patient/client and focusing on the doctor’s/therapist’s own emotional experiences. We describe a complex narrative-crisis model of suicide that includes long-term and short-term risk factors for suicidal behavior and incorporates the suicidal crisis syndrome. We conclude with describing modern tendencies in suicide risk diagnostics — namely, overestimating the methods’ efficiency. New methods for assessing critical states possessing good predictive validity should be developed and implemented.

We provide a detailed description of the most common online counseling ethical dilemmas, such as determining format suitability, taking action in crises, identification issues, method validity, regional differences in ethical and legal practices, confidentiality limitations, and establishing professional boundaries. A few options for ethical decision-making are offered, as well as advice on averting technical and ethical issues. We provide a specific version of informed consent for online counseling services, that helps ensure safety and protect both parties. It also describes the main aspects of online counseling, its technical and confidentiality limitations, crisis procedures, and ways to address potential conflicts.

The review of the literature describes the clinical features of bipolar affective disorder (BAD). Difficulties in diagnosing BAD due to the complex clinical picture that cause untimely diagnosis and the formation of an unfavorable course of the disease are examined in detail. The data on mental disorders it is necessary to differentiate BAD from are presented. The characteristics of the course of BAD are described in detail, including unfavorable forms and mixed bipolar conditions, which are difficult to diagnose and treat, and present a negative prognostic factor. The data on the deterioration of the cognitive abilities of patients with an increase in the number of episodes of BAD, which can occur even during euthymy, are considered. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of forms of mental and somatic pathology, comorbid BAD associated with a decrease in the quality of life, poor prognosis, increased disability, and premature mortality.

The article describes a case of providing counseling help in overcoming educational difficulties in the Russian language to a sixth-grade student, who was considered underachieving by teachers, utilizing the reflective-activity approach in the context of distance learning. The material of the case analysis shows the importance of supporting the student’s agency in educational activities and its crucial role in the conditions of distance learning both for overcoming learning difficulties and for the overall development of the child. For a qualitative analysis of remote consulting sessions, a multidimensional model of the zone of proximal development was used, that established the foundation for the dynamics of the vectors used by the counselor to initiate change.

The paper studies the relationship of the anxiety of different types in the situation of the pandemic with the search for information about coronavirus and with protective actions This research included 409 respondents uninfected by coronavirus aged 18 to 64 years old within a period of three weeks to one month from the start of self-isolation The participants have appraised the severity of their anxiety caused by various reasons associated with the pandemic, the frequency of monitoring the information and communications about coronavirus, and the frequency of different protective actions against coronavirus As a result, two aspects have been identified in the structure of the anxiety about coronavirus: the fear of the infection and anxiety about negative consequences The fear of the consequences of the pandemic is characteristic of every third person, and it does not depend on sex and age In one out of 11-12 persons, it is the experience that interferes with usual activities A pronounced fear of infection was found in one person out of 5-10 respondents;it is more characteristic of women and older people In addition to the infection prevention strategies, 10 8% of the variance of the infection anxiety and 10 6% variance of the anxiety about the negative effects of the pandemic predicts information monitoring, communications about the pandemic and usage of optional but common protection strategies and ambiguous strategies The obtained results are consistent with our supposition that deliberate control of the information stream and unverified strategies of the protective behavior may contribute to reducing the anxiety in the situation of the pandemic while preserving the protective actions that have been found to be effective
