PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS: APPLICATION OF THE BIOSUGGESTIVE THERAPY METHOD

Abstract

The article examines pressing issues related to the psychological rehabilitation of individuals with mental disorders amid increasing levels of psycho-emotional stress, prolonged stress exposure, social challenges, and instability. It has been found that psychological rehabilitation for individuals with mental disorders is one of the key areas of modern psychotherapeutic practice, aimed not only at reducing symptoms but also at restoring the individual’s full functioning within the social environment. It is established that mental disorders significantly affect a person’s quality of life, interpersonal relationships, professional activity, and ability for self-actualization. Therefore, psychological rehabilitation involves comprehensive support, including psychotherapy, social adaptation, development of self-regulation skills, and the formation of a healthy attitude toward oneself and one’s condition. Special attention is given to the method of biosuggestive therapy as a modern approach to psychotherapeutic intervention, which enables comprehensive work with mental and psychosomatic disorders. It is emphasized that biosuggestive therapy combines verbal and nonverbal methods aimed at activating the individual’s inner resources, stimulating self-regulation, and reducing psycho-emotional tension. Within the therapeutic process, a safe environment is created that promotes client openness, rethinking of past experiences, normalization of emotional state, and reduction of anxiety levels. Data are provided on the effectiveness of the biosuggestive approach in working with depression, anxiety disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, and post-traumatic conditions, especially in the context of wartime. The importance of an individual approach, consideration of the patient’s personal characteristics, and the use of biosuggestive therapy as part of an integrative rehabilitation model are emphasized. The article presents the results of a psychodiagnostic study on youth stress resilience levels and substantiates the feasibility of implementing biosuggestive therapy in educational institutions. The prospects for using this method in the system of psychoprophylaxis and psychorehabilitation are outlined.
