New approaches in the taxonomy of neuroses (psychopathology)
The article analyzes the approaches to systematization of neuroses (psychopathology), based on the classification of mental functions. It is shown that a number of mental functions can be structured within the framework of philosophical-psychological approach, including the need-motivational sphere, defenses, mental states, behavior patterns. On this basis, the classification of psychological types is offered, which includes neurotic types (psychopathology) as species. The heuristic value of the classification is substantiated by the similarity of the results of independent research methods: philosophical-methodological analysis of mental functions, archetypal approach, as well as a practical approbation of the technique “Motivational Relief of Personality”.
