Psychology and Psychotechnics
Reference:

Gurevich, P. S. Actual Psychology

Abstract: The role of psychology is considerably changing in the modern world. The birth of the new civilization creates numerous problems which cannot be understood or corrected without psychology. Extraordinary pace of social and cultural transformations, inability of many people to adjust to new realities, disintegration of identity (i.e. one’s ability to form a correct image and perception of himself), discovery of new anthropological (i.e. typical for only human) features — all that brings psychology to the forefront of modern humanitarian science. We are witnessing some kind of a psychological boom. The number of psychology books being published is constantly increasing. The scope of psychological science is expanding, too. Today psychology is taught at all state and private universities. Nowadays, psychology is needed in the spheres of business and management, politics and environmental protection, economics and sport, law and advertising, education and up-bringing. Transpersonal (integral) psychology is developing fast. Political psychology, psychology of extreme situations, economic psychology and sport psychology are making themselves known, too. Standards of psychological education don’t catch up with the rapid expansion of the scope of psychological science.
