Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of the current state of the problem of coping with difficult life situations through the prism of L.I. Antsyferova`s methodological critique. Various views on the specifics of difficult situations generating coping reactions are analyzed and their connection to K. Jaspers` concept of borderline situations characterized by the need for change is shown. The relationships between coping constructs, and coping and psychological defense, is considered. Self-regulation is proposed as a general theoretical context encompassing all the processes being considered, with coping processes being a special case.
