Modern psychology: difficult parting with methodological illusions

The problem of «paradigmal shift» as one of the most important characteristics of modem scientific psychology is studied in the article. Objectivation of the main point in this shift requires realization of methodological aims which are rejected by science and those which replace them. It is affirmed that supposed transformation goes in the most fundamental, basic, world outlook layer which ensures professional unity of the people working with psychology. It is the very reason of the psychological strain in scientific community which is able to realize illusiveness of some starting methodological premises, but this community has not had time to assume new methodological conditions as paradigmal (generally accepted) aims.
