PSYCHOSOMATIC TRANSFORMATION GAME "THE WAY TO THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE" AND ITS EFFICIENCY IN THE BODILY SELF DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
The method of the original psychosomatic transformation game «The Way to the Philosopher's Stone» aimed at promoting the process of individuation and harmonization of the functioning of bodily Self is presented. The psychological mechanisms of the influence involved in the game are: the activation of imagination, inner attention, intraception, symbolization, the transcendental function of the psyche, the actualization of the inner dialogue with bodily Self, the internal locus of control over the body, the cognitive activity aimed at archetypal structures associated with the symbolism of integrity, the catalyzing of synchronicities and projections as a material for comprehension and achieving a sense of integration. The proposed game corresponds to the general structure of the transformation games. The effectiveness of the transformation game «The Way to the Philosopher's Stone» was tested on the basis of the assessment of the dynamics of the ability to imaginate and to verbalize and the valence of bodily Self. The dynamics of bodily Self were assessed in students depending on the variant of psychological influence - to promote the development of bodily Self in the application of the transformation game and PAVA separately or in their complex influence. Three experimental and one control groups were formed. Retesting sections were performed prior to the implementation of the psychological impact, 1-2-3-months after the start of the work. The effectiveness of the methodology «Psychosomatic transformation game «The Way to the Philosopher's Stone» is confirmed by the positive dynamics of indicators of the ability to verbalize bodily Self, the valence of the concern to bodily Self and the ability to imagination. It is shown that the complex application of the methodology for the development of bodily Self PAVA and the methodology «Psychosomatic transformation game «The Way to the Philosopher's Stone» has the most productive psychotherapeutic influence on bodily Self in comparison with the application of each of these techniques separately.
