Abstract

This article is devoted to the actual problem of studying the human representations of the lifetimes at the stage of turning events. Such events as: loss of a marriage partner, diseases associated with malignant neoplasm, deprivation of liberty, disability caused by an injury, and reproductive disorders acted as the turning events. The turning events violate the human self-organization considered as an open psychological system, create a certain bifurcation point for the human being, set the context of uncertainty and stability loss, and thereby determine the potential opportunity of finding new grounds to recover a dynamic equilibrium. The revealed invariant transformations of time representations in the era of reversal of life-violation of time integrity, narrowing of transspective review of life path, actualization of orientation to the past, positive reassessment of the past, loss of value of the present and future time, target and event uncertainty of life prospects, and dispersion of personal responsibility for the future.
