Biography
There is an interesting moment in the biography of the future psychologist that pushed him to choose a profession. When he was about five years old, he asked his grandmother why people were dying. She replied that due to illness.
Since then, the boy began to reflect on this topic, and when he grew up, he decided to help people get rid of ailments. He was particularly concerned about the problem of oncology, because this disease was considered incurable.
After school, Alexander entered the medical college. He diligently studied the structure of man and all the features of organs, but realized that the cause of the ailments should not be sought in tissues and cells, but in something else. After thinking about the expression "all diseases from nerves, " he began to look for the answer to his questions in the field of psychology.
Psychologist career
He was very interested to understand how a disease originates in a person, from which it appears. He decided to find the answer at the faculty of clinical psychology. The knowledge gained revealed many secrets, but not all - the rest of the information was given by practice. After receiving his education, Derzhavin worked for some time on the helpline, where people with rather difficult life problems called. They were unhappy, ready to commit suicide, as well as suffering from a variety of addictions.
Therefore, Derzhavin’s first practice as a psychotherapist was with adolescents who were addicted to drugs, alcohol and smoking. This work was quite successful.
The next stage of work is to help orphans with disabilities. Alexander tried to help them integrate into society so that they could live life as full as possible in their situation.
Then there was another project, and yet - there were more than twenty of them, and then the psychotherapist himself began to need help. What happened often in these specialties happened: professional burnout.
Derzhavin had the will and knowledge to cope with this problem. However, he thought of many people who are also depleting their resources at work, and decided to tackle this problem. So the training "Prevention of professional burnout" appeared, which included effective methods of healing from this ailment.
From training over time, a whole program called "Professional Adaptation" grew up, which was offered to institutes and psychological centers.
