RESEARCH MODEL OF SOCIAL COGNITION FOR THE BASE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP PLANNING FOR ADOLESCENTS WITH INTERPERSONAL DYSFUNCTION

In this paper we consider the problem of planning non-specific preventive and corrective care for older teenagers and young people, as well as the related problem of diagnostics of various deficits and violations of social cognition. It is suggested that the most common form of assistance to such teenagers - training of communication and communicative behavior - in some cases may not be sufficiently effective. The interventions often don't mention the specificity f the disturbed or underdeveloped components of social cognition (the operational, motivational, regulatory and behavioral). When planning a program of psychological help we consider the following questions: what skills (functions, processes) are developed by this program, what is the of the specific complexity of this teenager's groups and, finally, what is the theoretical model of the practical program' basis.
