The article defines the features of psychological correction at the behavioral level in working with psychotraumas during the war. A methodical approach to the harmonization of the psychological state of a traumatized person has been developed and the criteria for the formation of behavioral components of such a state during the war have been obtained. The procedural features of the work of future psychologists with psychotraumas have been clarified. Proven and original psychological methods are proposed and effective methods of providing operational psychological assistance are described. The experience of the practical work of a team of specialists from different universities of Ukraine, who, with the assistance of specialists from America and Europe, developed useful psychological techniques and described in detail the necessary psychological help for psychological trauma is summarized. A systematized complex of scientific and educational cycles of psycho-educational materials is presented, which forms the spirituality of the individual, is actively introduced into the educational process and is implemented in applied professional activities in various fields of psychological science and practice.

The key mistakes of people’s behavior in the conditions of war, the ways of transition from a depressed state to a state of recovery are analyzed. Peculiarities of social functioning when working with psychotrauma have been revealed. Psychological correction of a person’s behavior during the war is recommended due to the increasing prevalence and increase in the number of people with psychological trauma. The importance of personal characteristics, the psychological potential of spirituality, the importance of implementing a variety of forms and methods that affect the state of a psychotraumatic social and psychological environment is emphasized. Conducted research on the material of future psychologists allows us to draw preliminary conclusions. Indeed, work with psychotrauma in the conditions of war is accompanied by critical moments, the most difficult of which is behavior correction. The provision of psychoprophylactic assistance through the use of a complex correction method allows to prevent extremely negative consequences that can psychologically deform a person. Accordingly, further development and approval of the corrective behavioral method of psychoprophylaxis on a wider range of empirical material is necessary in order to recommend its use to psychology specialists. The obtained data can be useful in determining the areas of work with psychotraumas during the war and in the future should be considered as objects of psychological support in the creation of psychorehabilitation programs for future specialists.
