Conception (from Lat. Conceptio "system of understanding"):
- a complex of views on something related to each other and forming an interconnected system;
- a certain way of understanding, interpreting any phenomena; the main point of view, the guiding idea for their coverage;
system of views on phenomena - in the world, nature, society;
- a system of ways to solve the problem;
- a way of understanding, distinguishing and interpreting any phenomena, giving rise to considerations and conclusions inherent only to it.
The system of concepts forms a picture of the world, which reflects a person's understanding of reality. A person lives not so much in the world of objects and things as in the world of concepts created by him for his intellectual, spiritual and social needs.
The concept expresses not only a set of attributes of an object, but also those ideas, knowledge, associations, experiences that are associated with it. For example: seeing a table, we are faced with a meaning - a table is a piece of furniture, it can be a dining room, a coffee table, etc. The concept gives a broader concept: the table is solid, the table is not edible, the table is not dangerous, etc.
That. conceptual perception consists of individual concepts included in a wide network of relationships. Establishing connections between concepts is an automatic process. As a result, we do not have to try to eat the table to understand that it is not edible.
The concept is emotionally expressive. For example: conceptualizing a table can evoke childhood nostalgic experiences with dinner at the parent's home.
The main role of concepts in our mental life is that they determine strategy action.
And, if, on the one hand, conceptualization is an important adaptation mechanism that allowed man to dominate the planet, then on the other hand, we fall into the trap of conceptualization.
Our involvement in the concepts of certain situations makes us react in a certain way, sometimes not adaptively and rigidly. And it can be painful. We fear, we grieve, we fall into despair under the influence of our concepts. They are perceived by us as part of reality, as objective knowledge, as truth. But! Any concept is just a hypothesis, with varying degrees of probability corresponding to reality or predicted events. And this is by no means reality itself.
But, how would we act if we did not have frightening, oppressive, killing concepts? Young children do not commit suicide, even if the conditions of their existence are unbearable. They continue to live and do not have suicidal thoughts because they do not yet have the concept of death.
In contrast to the conceptual perception of reality, non-conceptual perception takes off the heavy burden of such concepts as "being left without money", "being humiliated", "being alone", "being beaten", "being rejected".
Non-conceptual perception provides an opportunity to get out of the habitual cycle of responding to situations that drive us into negative experiences.
Throwing off the glasses of conceptuality, we have the opportunity to look at phenomena, ourselves and the world, with a pure gaze, like a child looks at things and objects, cognizing them, without attaching any subjective meaning, any rules and evaluations.
In fact, the cause of a phobic or depressive reaction is a person's ability to be included in the system of concepts and relationships, i.e. conceptualized. We need to learn to separate objective perception from how we give meaning to the object that we observe or the situation we are experiencing.

The phenomenon of transference described by Sigmnud Freud is one of the main discoveries in psychoanalysis and psychotherapeutic practice.

This phenomenon consists in the fact that feelings, expectations, behavior and other features of relations with significant figures from the past are transferred (projected) to other people in the present.
DISORDERS OF SENSATION AND PERCEPTION. Theory
The basis of sensory cognition is obtaining objective information about the world around and the internal state of the human body through the work of analyzers - visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, tactile and proprioceptive. However, analyzers allow us to obtain the sensations available to us (heat, cold, color, shape, size, surface quality, severity, taste and smell) information only about certain qualities of an object.
