The technique of studying of processes of stigmatization of victims in emergency is insufficiently developed now and is based on results of practical observations of certain experts and methodical adaptations. Surveying features of internal and external stigmatization which is traumatic for victims and leads to weighting of experiences, negative development of the cognitive scheme "I-in-the-event", its dynamics, the authors define them as the adverse prognostic moments in a psychotherapy of the studied category of persons. In the article there is made an attempt of survey systematization of a series of social and demographic and environmental factors which have to be known to the expert working with the victim in emergency that in due time and precisely to diagnose character of consequences of a psychological trauma, to prognosticate the course of post-stressful disorders and to plan psychocorrectional influence. There are selected the characteristics of victims in emergency (an invalidism and traumatization, age, gender factors, education level) having significant effect on stigmatization development. The author analyses some of the problems arising during a psychotherapy of patients with stigma, defines the factors increasing probability of a delay with the request for the specialized help or refusal of therapy.

The article provides data from a survey of 61 children (members of families of militants of the Islamic State terrorist organization) released from an Iraqi prison. Mental, psychological and behavioral disorders identified during clinical and psychological examination are described. The role of multiple psycho-traumatic factors in the construction of mental disorders in children who are forced to stay in a zone of local military conflict for a long time and survived heavy losses is shown. Based on the results, 6 groups were identified, united by similar symptoms and gender-age characteristics. It is noted that such general psychodynamic trends as a delay in psychophysical development and pedagogical neglect come to the fore, accompanied by situationally caused anxiety-depressive reactions provoked by additional psycho-traumatic factors (separation from mother, change of habitual settings and environment). The necessity of taking into account the religious, ethical and ethno-cultural characteristics in the examination and development of a set of rehabilitation measures for these children is shown. Attention is focused on the difficulties of adaptation and rehabilitation of this population in a society which is new for them, constant dynamic monitoring of the examined is justified.

In this article the authors consider the phenomenon of stigmatization as one of the unfavorable socio-psychological results of emergency situations raising the level of personality vulnerability though not studied enough so far. A study was made to reveal stigmatization with relation to persons who had suffered from emergency situations, among the inhabitants of the two regions exposed to terroristic attacks: that of North Ossetiya (the town of Beslan and the city of Vladikavkaz) and the Central Region (the city of Moscow). Analysis of the obtained data permitted one to make a conclusion of the presence of signs of stigmatization in both groups of respondents, of insufficient awareness in society of the specificities of individual forms of response to stress, of manifestations of post-stress mental disorders, as well as a transfer of social stereotypes related to persons with mental disorders to the victims. Socio-demographic factors causing outward stigmatization have been defined. A degree of expression of stigmatization tendencies depends on a respondent’s social status as well as on the past traumatic experience.
