This paper provides an over view of the problem of public crisis. Primary focus is on the fact that a defining characteristic of the world society is a high level of prevalence of different crisis phenomena in economic, social, cultural and political spheres which create a space of permanent crisis.The detailed psychological understanding of the nature of a crisis event as a phenomenon which has pathogenic effects on the human psyche is presented. It is stressed that crises are the natural condition in the processes of social development, but along with such inevitability of crisis phenomena, the society is never psychologically prepared for them. Social changes, public, economic, political, ecological crisis events are traumatically perceived by an individual, since they bring the destabilization of the visions of reality, the loss of former pillars and behavioral guidelines, and the continuity of being hitherto undisputed is lost. The characteristic features of public crises are revealed: latency of the processes of origin; suddenness and unpredictability; decline, destructing influence on the existing structure and transfer into another state; imbalance and aggravation of contradictions in the system, involved in crisis; danger and feeling of threat, state of uncertainty, which prevail in the society. Psychological effects of the public crisis phenomena are considered. The analysis of the substantial and dynamic aspects of the mental states caused by crisis events is carried out in the paper. The theoretical and methodological bases of psychological counseling in the conditions of public crisis are presented. It is emphasized in the paper that with the focus on psychoanalytic views it is possible to expand the understanding of scientific issues related to the emergence of negative psychical effects of public crises, as well as studying the prerequisites of their emergence. The elaborate study of long-term clinical experience of psychoanalysts and theoretical analysis of psychoanalytic papers testify that the subject's traumatization is not predetermined by the principle of linear determinism (when the past affects the present), but on the contrary, the experience of the past can be updated as a traumatic one in the light of present events. In other words, the event of the past can get the traumatic significance through the sense of the event of the present. ; У статті представлено огляд проблеми суспільних криз.
