Abstract
This scientific abstract explores the features of psychocorrection in preschool children exhibiting preneurotic symptoms in the context of war. By analyzing modern scientific trends and research conducted during times of acute stress and distress caused by war in Ukraine, the practical aspects of psychological and corrective work with preschool-aged children are considered and analyzed.
Due to the ongoing war, both adults and children face daily life-and-death situations, which disrupt their psychological balance and subject them to cruel uncertainty. As a result, the psychological well-being of children is deeply affected, leading to a high incidence of neurotic states, including neuropsychological disorders, heightened anxiety, fear, lack of confidence, and excessive vulnerability, among others.
It is observed that the emergence of neuroses in such situations is often preceded by preneurotic states, which later develop into neurotic reactions and disorders. Psychological correction is identified as a primary approach in working with children exhibiting preneurotic tendencies. Psychological correction refers to a form of psychological intervention aimed at creating optimal conditions for the child's psychological development and providing specialized psychological support.
The abstract emphasizes that the most accessible types of psychological and corrective work with preschool children are behavioral, emotional, and cognitive methods. These approaches facilitate conflict resolution and help release tension on a subconscious level.
Furthermore, the research highlights effective and modern approaches to psychological correction of preschool children in war conditions through various forms of art therapy. The abstract categorizes the following methods of art therapy as highly efficient and effective in modern psychological correction: isotherapy (therapeutic impact through art), fairy tale therapy (using fairy tales as a therapeutic tool), music therapy (utilizing music and choreographic movements), game therapy (organized game activities), doll therapy, and canister therapy, among others.
Art therapy is described as a method of uncovering a child's concerns, relieving negative emotional states, and allowing them to identify their unconscious worries and overcome their destructive impacts through the natural state of play and art. Different forms of art therapy provide conditions for individuals to experience success in various activities, enabling them to tap into their psychic potential for stress management.
The abstract concludes by highlighting the importance of further research and work in the field of psychocorrection for preschool children with preneurotic symptoms.
