Transspective analysis of the gerontological violence phenomenon

The main contradiction determining the need for scientific development of the geronto-logical violence problem is, on the one hand, the increase in number of elderly people and the task of protecting them from violence (in its various forms), preserving active longevity, life quality, on the other hand, the limited scientific data on psychology of gerontological violence and the development of practical aspects of older age crises studies. To analyze the formation of scientific ideas about gerontological violence, its understanding as a multidimensional and systemic phenomenon, the article uses the method of transspec-tive analysis as a method of post-nonclassical thinking in psychology. On the basis of this method, the conceptual bases necessary for understanding and explaining the phenomenon in the prism of the post-nonclassical paradigm are designed. The aim of the study was to conduct a theoretical analysis and provide a scientific justification for studying the possibility of gerontological violence from the perspective of systemic anthropological psychology as a variant of the cultural and historical approach of Vygotsky L.S. (Klochko V.E and others) development. We analyzed the violence problem in psychology using the method of transspective analysis, which made it possible to identify the trends in the development of the gerontological violence problem in the process of psychological cognition movement (classics - nonclassic - post-nonclassic). The results of the transspective analysis of the gerontological violence phenomenon in psychology made it possible to reveal the following natural changes in scientific views: the phenomenon of violence as an element of the psychological (man) and social (structure of society) system as a means of internal organization of the personality structure is considered in classical psychology; in nonclassical psychology there is a tendency to appeal to the study of the whole man, namely: personal characteristics of confrontation and protection from violence, the presence of positive emotions in relation to oneself, the world, and other people; in post-nonclassical psychology, violence is positioned from the point of view of the person's lifeworld deformation. Thus, in the modern psychological science, there are corresponding methodological possibilities for staging and solving the problem of gerontological violence, which allows solving scientific and practical problems that have not been solved in the framework of classical and non-classical psychology.
