"A way to handle reality in a schizophrenic world." Lecture Daniel Khlomov

The Department of Psychology represents

With increasing complexity and multiple splitting of human society, people try to cope “in the old manner”, a borderline way, dividing everything into “bad” and “good”. In the schizophrenet world, this method of handleing reality leads us to the “swamps” of depression and resentification.

We must go beyond the “normality”, and this is scary - people are mainly instinctively afraid of madness. But the psychological characteristics of patients with schizophrenia can teach us a lot, because this is most often an attempt to adapt to complex external and internal circumstances and not lose at all orientation.

For example, they have this ability: to actualize the hidden, latent properties of objects and the meanings of situations. Those who overcome the barrier of fear of abnormality, maintaining criticality, become more free and creative people.

How can we go crazy a little? What to take with you on a "crazy journey", but what to leave? This is stated by a psychologist, Gestalt therapist, director of the Moscow Gestalt Institute, President of the Society of Practitioners of Psychologists, Gestalt approach, President of the Association of Russian -speaking Gestalt Institutes Daniil Khlomov.
