The moderator and speaker is Anastasia Bolshakova, head of the Department of Psychology, Pedagogy and Philology, doctor of psychological sciences, professor, practicing psychologist. In order to survive and effectively perform combat tasks in war, a person must learn certain "rules" (established patterns of perception and response). Learning and following these rules is a condition for survival in war, but when returning home to a peaceful life, it often becomes impractical. But the participants in hostilities cannot quickly discard the learned "rules" and readjust to a peaceful life. Therefore, relatives, as well as those psychologists who provide psychological assistance, should be aware of the rules by which the combatants lived and continue to live, and take them into account when communicating and building relationships.
