Self-control Face Training Technique

      The principle of reverse afferentation (the mechanism of reverse connection) gives an opportunity to influence on the specified basic psychological feature by conscious activation (or relaxation) of correlating mimic elements. Training techniques created on the basis of Autogenic Training by J.Shultz and regulating mental processes, connected with emotional conditions, by a muscular relaxation, optimize the general emotional state of the person. The proposed technique (STEMA) allows selectively influence on concrete psychological features directly in a phase of the daily activity of the person, depending on requirements of an environment, or the certain professional specificity.

      The technique can have the practical use connected with the conscious self-control and optimum regulation of functional conditions, providing various professional tasks performances:

     - training of the personnel working in conditions of specific psychological loading (pilots, air traffic controllers, emergency and rescue groups), increasing efficiency and reliability of their work in a mode of stressors, disintegrating behavior;

     - persons which individual achievements depend on ability to extreme mobilization (sportsmen).

     Moreover, influence, not touching unique individual experience of the person, can be directed on the properties, becoming a source of external and internal conflicts. Therefore it is realistic to talk about influence as an attempt of smoothing or amplification of individual personal accents that cause the serious difficulties in the person. And this target influence, in view of realities of psychological structure formation, should take a long time, as a rule.
