Abstract
The article analyzes the results of the theoretical and empirical study of students-psychologist’s self-actualization indicators. A generalized theoretical analysis of the individual self-actualization phenomenon, its components and the connection with the professional formation process of a psychologist-specialist is presented. The results of an empirical study of students-psychologist’s selfactualization indicators in the context of their professional formation are analyzed. It is summarized that future specialists are characterized by medium indicators of self-actualization and personality maturity, with sufficiently increased orientations of future specialists towards manifestations of contact, perception of their own Self, a valuable component of self-actualization and orientation towards a humanistic perception of human nature, orientation towards knowledge. It has been found that students-psychologists are characterized by a predominance of achievement motivation, attitude towards their own Self, and the ability to be in contact with communication partners. Identified trends are analyzed in the context of compliance with the requirements for the professional activity of a psychologist
