INVITED SYMPOSIUM ABSTRACT
Health recovery: psychological ways of optimizing
The issues to be discussed in the symposium focus on a complex understanding of health, its recovery and ways of rehabilitation. One of them is an innovative concept of rehabilitation potential which is viewed as an integrated characteristic of a patient’s biological, psychological and social status. There is a theoretical model of rehabilitation potential to be presented and its practical application to medical and psychological rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Psychosomatic rehabilitation using dynamic therapeutic methods of bioresonance will be considered in case of bronchial asthma. One more point for discussion is neuropsychological correction in the framework of the Vygotsky’s theory of higher mental functions. The presenters will highlight organizational principles of such a correction and criteria of its effectiveness. There will be two more questions under consideration, namely the phenomenon of learnt helplessness in children and adolescents as well as medical and psychological rehabilitation of young athletes.
