ИСТИНА

Clinical psychology, which emerged as a field of science and practice at the end of the 19th century, has always attracted great attention. Even before its emergence as an independent science, various individual characteristics of character, personality, and mental functions aroused the interest of philosophers, medics, and writers. And today, the peculiarities and disorders of the mentality are the object of both scientific research and artistic creativity, in which they are interpreted and interpreted within the framework of the so-called aesthetic paradigm. One example of such a non-standard understanding of clinical and psychological phenomena and ideas is animation. Of course, the animation genre is very variable, it solves a lot of educational, entertaining and educational tasks and is aimed at different age categories of viewers. Psychological ideas and problems are addressed to children of primary school age, teenagers, young and adult fans of the animation genre. All of these categories of viewers perceive these ideas in cartoons in different ways, but with constant interest and pleasure. In Russia, such cartoons appeared in the 60s of the last century. One can mention as examples the cartoons of F. Khitruk, R. Kachanov and others. Modern cartoons present a variety of subjects that are directly or indirectly related to clinical and psychological problems. This is a change of leading activity, leading to unexpected consequences, sleep disorders (insomnia), errors of memorization, the risks of gaming and computer addiction, hyperactivity, accentuation of various character traits, an attempt to extract secondary benefits from the common cold, and problems in interpersonal relationships. The appearance of such topics may indicate the growing interest of society in psychology, the possibility of understanding clinical psychology not only as a strict science, the potential of using such animation options in the psychotherapy of younger schoolchildren and adolescents.
