Abstract

The article is devoted to an important issue of how much age influences a general perception of psychotherapy in the modern information-oriented society. The article proves the point of view that emotions coming together with information shape perception to the most part. The main points of the research conducted include the results and their analysis of an associative experiment (stimulus words like “psychologist”, “psychotherapist”, “psychotherapy”); a questionnaire survey “Your Attitude towards Psychotherapy”; a projective technique “Visiting a Psychotherapist”; Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The authors of the research come to the conclusion that in modern society people of the age group of 36-60 years old are less aware of ways of getting psychotherapeutical assistance and consulting a qualified therapist if compared with a younger generation; they are prone to stereotypes concerning psychotherapy and disapprove of it, do not believe in such professionals’ help.
