The feminist biographical method is an in-depth interpretive methodology that is useful for research in the field of psychology. I believe that this qualitative method is an excellent tool for analyzing individual narratives of participants lives in relation to the larger cultural matrix of the society in which they live. Although an oral interview is often the primary strategy employed for data collection in this methodology, other sources of information such as personal journals, official documents, and cultural texts are also exciting additions to the research. The strengths of the feminist biographical method include the depth, context, and meaning found in the research; the inclusion of women's experiences and voices in academic research; and the ability to conduct a sociopolitical analysis of potentially marginalized people. In this article, I delve into the feminist biographical method by providing discussion and examples from research in the field, as well as from my own research. I provide the reader with a personal narrative on how-to conduct research using the feminist biographical method. In particular, I delineate the process of researching the lived experiences of women international students in difficult relationships. As a psychological researcher, I encourage others in the field of psychology to consider using the feminist biographical research to add context, depth, and richness to studies involving human participants.

The article is devoted to a theoretical analysis of the problem of studying personality identity from the point of view of a psychological research. The article shows why the question of self-identity, self-identity and the strength of self-image is becoming
increasingly topical in modern conditions. The concepts of identity, identification, self-identity are divorced. In the article are analysed the development of the content of the concept of «identity» in the psychoanalytic, social, cognitively oriented and other directions. Two basic functions of identity are presented - adaptive and organizing ones. Theoretical approaches are identified that consider identity as objective, as a subjective and objective-subjective characteristic in the organisation of psychological research. The types and levels of identity are presented such as: «ego-identity», «personal identity», «social identity». The authors noted that most researchers saw in identity a dynamic structure that contains the needs, abilities, beliefs and one's own experience. As a subject of research, identity is most often considered as an internal system of social regulators, due to which a person builds its own relationships with the surrounding reality, relates itself to a certain social and professional group, forms its own system of personal values, ideals, norms, requirements, attitudes towards the world and yourself.

In the present article an analysis of borders diverse kinds and functions applied in psychological concepts and paradigms has been carried out. It has been made clear that a comprehension of borders as a self-valuable source for development ousts metaphorical and topological interpretations of the term. It has been alleged that within the context of social psychology it is righteous to discuss intersubject and intersubjective borders of interaction between I and the Other.
