The perception of a human being as an integral whole has led not only to the anthropologization of modern humanities but also to an interdisciplinary dialogue embracing humanities and social sciences, including in particular the so-called 'new science of history' with its numerous branches ('new history of culture', 'new social history', 'new local history', and other new histories) which employ the methodological tools of philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and psychology. The author stresses the need to update the philosophical and anthropological foundations of modern historical knowledge which increasingly regards history as a process whereby people establish themselves as holistic beings by integrating their biosocial and spiritual nature. The book discusses these and other problems of the 'new social and humanitarian synthesis'.
Existential psychology, which has existed since the middle 20th century, has now won a strong position among other psychological areas and is the fastest growing area of psychological theory and practice. Its appeal to the phenomena of freedom, responsibility, and human dignity led psychologists to reconsider their theoretical and practical guidelines and accept the basic views of the existential paradigm, which allows to understand and describe many features of a human being.
The author recreates a complete picture of the existential psychology and psychotherapy, its history and current status as the union of philosophical, theoretical-psychological and operational-methodological components tailored to the psychotherapeutic practice. The novelty of the approach to the topic draws from the introduction to the existential psychology of new the concept of the person as a spiritual individuality.
This book can be useful for students and postgraduate students in psychology and psychotherapy, as well as a wide range of experts in the field of philosophy, social sciences and humanities.
The methodology of econometric approach to off-site monitoring of the Russian banking system is suggested. It includes econometric models of the probability of bank default, based on historical data on Russian bank defaults; models of ratings assigned to banks by rating agencies or experts, models of banks’ interest rates, and models of banks’ cost efficiency.
