ISSUES OF EXTREME PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPETENCE OF THE LEGAL PRACTITIONER
The article is devoted to the study of psychological phenomena arising in situations of occupational risk, life and health risks that require extreme competence, i.e. the ability to properly mobilize physical and moral-psychological qualities and forces. Security is defined as the of protection of vital interests of the individual, society and the State from internal and external threats. Among existing approaches to providing security preference is given to elimination of the threat that is the very source of danger. Therefore, it is important to be able to adequately assess the risk of the situation and the degree of success and failure of undertaken actions. There are different approaches to classifying extreme situations, in any of which stress resistance amounts to a combination of human capabilities and opportunities to overcome various extreme situations, and it can be attributed to the most significant part of the professional competence of the lawyer. The paper identifies critical psychological factors that determine the stress overcoming behavior of the lawyer in extreme situations that allows for the development of professional stress resistance.
