Abstract

It is presented in the article in the historical-analytical aspect the distinction and is highlighted conceptual-categorical and psychophenomenal features of the rise and development of the three main streams of the progress of the psychological science over the last one and a half century, namely, natural sciences, psychoanalytic and humanistic. Limited explanatory possibilities of the first two in their various branches are argued and, in return, the heuristic opportunities and prospects of the development of the third stream as the most human-centric and encouraging, concerning the risks of technogenic civilization and the dominance of the global scale of human consumption over the processes of nature-conservation production and the creation of society.
