Abstract

The article presents the results of using existential criterion of normal and abnormal personality for psychological analysis of the case of Peter Pavlensky. It is shown that it is possible to diagnose abnormal type of personality with a high probability «oriented on protest against compliance of own behaviour with other people requirements», which is common for people seeking psychological consultation. However, this conclusion does not indicate mental pathology of Peter Pavlensky, but the fact that his personality is in conflict with a human essence, and this conflict can provoke life psychological problems and psychiatric disorders.
