The article addresses the issue of personal psychocorrection in the professional training of future psychologists of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. The study is grounded in the theoretical and methodological foundations of the psychodynamic paradigm and is based on the analysis of empirical data obtained from psychocorrectional groups through the method of active socio-psychological cognition. The article reveals the diagnostic and correctional potential of the ASPP method using thematic psychodiagnosis in the context of training future psychologists of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. The article outlines the principles of psychocorrectional work, which serve as essential prerequisites for productive personal reflection, the development of emotional awareness, the reduction of internal tension, and the creation of a safe space for in-depth exploration of the subject’s psyche within the ASPP group format. The article presents the methodological foundations of psychodynamic theory, which underlie the organization and implementation of in-depth psychological research within the framework of active socio-psychological cognition (ASPP) group work. Attention is drawn to the importance of personal psychocorrection for future psychologists as a critical factor in ensuring their successful professional functioning. The study is devoted to identifying personal problems, internal conflicts, and emotional states of psychology students through the use of thematic projective drawings, which facilitate processes of personal awareness and psychocorrection of the individual. An analysis of psycho-drawings of psychology students who participated in group psycho-correction classes is presented, with a subsequent in-depth interpretation of their individualized content. The results of the study showed that the psychographic method allows us to identify unrelived childhood traumas, emotional barriers, the need for security, the search for meaning, as well as the individual's potential for internal growth. The implementation of verbal interpretation of drawings contributed to the activation of self-reflection processes, awareness of problem areas, and emotional relief, which corresponds to the tasks of personal psychocorrection. The article describes the advantages of the ASPP method in studying the underlying factors of the subject's personal problem and subsequent personal psychocorrection of the subject. The feasibility of the systematic use of psycho-drawing as a component of psycho-correctional work with future psychologists of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine is substantiated.
