The interrelationship between conditional values аnd interpersonal conflict іn the context of depth psychology

This scholarly article delves into the psychological underpinnings of mental values, dissecting the critical factors that contribute to their formation. It systematically investigates the interplay between mental values, the mechanisms of psychological self-destruction, and the internal dynamics of the psyche that precipitate deeply entrenched inner conflicts. A central focus is placed on the role mental values play in constructing an idealized self-image and their interrelation with normative values. Utilizing a deep psychological framework, the study examines how mental values intersect with the internal psychodynamic forces that underpin intrapsychic tension and conflict. The findings underscore that the foundational architecture of the psyche is established during early developmental stages, a period when mental values, idealized conceptions of the self, and psychological defense mechanisms are cultivated. This formative process fundamentally shapes individuals' relational patterns and their perceptions of themselves in relation to others. Moreover, the research highlights the potential of advanced psychocorrective interventions to harmonize these internal forces, thereby fostering personal development while enhancing interpersonal competencies. The study also substantiates the influence of conventional values—shaped by past experiences—on behavioral patterns and psychological characteristics. These values act through mechanisms such as substitution, identification, and compensation, which mediate their impact on mental functioning. Furthermore, a significant correlation is identified between conditional values and subjective expectations, particularly in how they validate and reinforce the attributes of the individual's idealized self-concept. The research emphasizes the critical importance of psychotherapeutic correction to address conventional values and demonstrates the efficacy of the ASPP (Automated System for Psychocorrection and Psychodiagnostics) method in diagnosing and fostering transformative changes in such value systems.
