Abstract

The expanded scienti0xFB01c knowledge about the essence of any psychological
phenomenon is a signi0xFB01cant background for enhancing of practically­orien-
tated capacity of the process of modern education directing; the latetr one
being a generally accepted factor of constructive livelihoods of a personality.
If the undeniable meaning of psychological health of a personality lies in his
success, the role of solution of problematic issues, connected with psychologi-
cal health, that is an important integrative feature of a personality throughout
his life, becomes clear.

As a result of conducted analytical work it is stated that so far in psycho-
logical science there has not been clear understanding of the essence of psy-
chological health, the uniqueness of this attribute, particularly in adolescence.
As opposed exactly in this period of life of a person the in0xFB02uence of education
on his psychological health is the most notable, as it regards to personal ca-
reer development during student’s life.
It is concluded that in psychological science the outlines of the theory
of psychological health of students have already been drawn up in the con-
text of the following idea: «a personality is integral, and an integral individual
is personal». Due to the methodological analysis of prediction conducted by
the scientists, established inner lines of psychological development of a perso­
nality and interpretation of intentional sphere through recognition of the ne-
cessity by «energetic carrier» (S. Maksymenko), justi0xFB01cation of core aspects
of integral­personal approach (N. Nepoleniashcha), proving that any psycho-
logical phenomenon is possible to be re0xFB02ected from di0exFB00rent points of view
in the context of typological approach, that provides «growth of theoretical
knowledge» (T. Dancheva) – the basis for establishing the theory of psycho-
logical health of a personality was created. In this regard the fundamental
value of philosophical­psychological teaching of an act is proved, in the aspect
of which the psychology of youth is taken into consideration (V. Romenets).
The background of the constructive development of psychological health
of students, received as a result of empirical research, particularly abroad,
that aimed to de0xFB01ne practically­orientated approaches to the improvement of
educational process at high schools, is also taken into consideration.
