    1. From the author’s point of view, man is a three-personal creature: we must speak of his corporal hypostasis, mental and spiritual. This spiritual hypostasis was generally cut off in classical psychology of our country, and was replaced by ideology, the author believes, as in Soviet psychology there was such a term as "the spirit of Soviet man". When the communist ideology collapsed, psychology was in a state of incompleteness, which sometimes led to false paths. Therefore, the author concludes, psychology of man needs a Christian component (in particular, an Orthodox one).

       In education, the personality development and understanding is in the center of psychology, and what is important is not the ancient, not the philosophical, but the Christian understanding. It is in Christianity that the value of person is most fully expressed, the author believes, it is in Christianity that man is given the opportunity of eternal life, he is given the opportunity to meet with God, and in order to achieve this, naturally, it is necessary to rise to a certain level of personal development. The way of personal being is the highest way of being in the world, according to the author.

       It is quite obvious that Christian psychology should include a huge body of knowledge that was not previously attracted by psychologists - this is the experience of confession, asceticism, saints, and theological doctrine about the nature of man.
