SUMMARY
The monograph, which is being reviewed, is devoted to an extremely important problem of modern psychology - the study of special aspects of the organization in memory of traumatic information about unpleasant life events as an important factor in effectively overcoming psychological traumatization. The authors argue that ignoring this aspect in the psychological practice of helping clients leads to negative consequences: escalation of the current traumatic state, the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the formation of depression, phobias, and ineffective behavior patterns. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that the authors proposed to study traumatic memory as a psychological phenomenon that functions within the normal range, and, therefore, which can be diagnosed without the use of medical diagnostics and neurodiagnostics methods. The reorganized traumatic experience, which consists of memories of traumatic life events which have been rethought and intellectually experienced, is the content of the traumatic memory. This approach significantly expands the opportunities of studying traumatic experience, since it allows using well-known memory models that were developed in the cognitive psychology and other psychological approaches in this research area.
