Description
Summary:The aim of the research is to determine the peculiarities of assistance to people with problem eating behavior and weight disorders in different fractals based on the principles of synergetic concept of the formation and development of problem eating behavior in the continuum «norm – pathology». To solve the tasks set in the paper such theoretical research methods as the method of analysis of the scientific literature and generalization have been used. The results of the research showed that synergetics in the field of psychology of eating behavior has significant heuristic potential, which determines the evolutionary methodology of the therapy and psychocorrection taking into account the phenomena of self-organization in the therapeutic space (autonomy, competence, self-worthiness, spiritual maturity, etc.). It is substantiated that a synergetic methodology is a tool for analyzing the nonlinear situation of the development of eating behavior. It is described that the task of specialists is to organize assistance to people with problem forms of eating behavior, aimed at finding resources to normalize patterns of eating behavior and body weight. Conclusions. Synergetic principles and fractal modular components of the conceptual model as a holistic system give grounds to claim that the trajectory of the development at bifurcation points can be changed due to the mobilization of resource potential – activation of protective and compensatory processes of corporeity. It may allow to outline the possibility of increasing effective assistance to people with problem eating strategies and weight deformities by: 1) identifying the peculiarities of subjective discourses as internal guidelines that determine the distorted patterns of eating behavior and, accordingly, are targets for correction; 2) rethinking the ontological problems of existence and the importance of spirituality as a resource potential of the individual, which through the activity of the spirit improves himself or herself and the socio-cultural environment; 3) organization of preventive work at the stages of latent and initial fractals, taking into account the influencing factors; 4) creation of multidisciplinary brigade forms, which include specialists from different fields of knowledge (psychologists, teachers, sociologists, clergy, physicians of various specializations, etc.); 5) creation of individual programs for normalization of eating behavior on the basis of general principles and a new approach to prevention, correction and rehabilitation of people with problem strategies of eating behavior and weight deformities.
