Abstract

The article deals with the psychological features of the self-image of persons of middle adulthood with coronary heart disease. It is shown that self-attitude of patients with coronary heart disease is more selective, situational, and the complexity of the situation provokes an unpredictable, emotionally unstable reaction to it. It was found out that there is a tendency for internal conflicts, doubts, disagreement with oneself, accompanied by feelings of guilt with these persons. It has also been investigated that most people of middle adulthood with coronary heart disease belong to emotionally-polar type of personality, which indicates the dependence of making decision on their emotional state. They can be traced to maximize the evaluation, the dependence of attitude towards other people on the principle of "like - do not like". The predominance of the average level of reflection is revealed, which indicates a shallow understanding of self-image people with coronary heart disease.
