The article under study summarizes the results of the research aimed at studying the issue of developing coping strategies among would-be psychologists. The authors point out that training a psychologist who should be competitive in modern society presupposes focusing on such activities which would actualize the resources of a person helping overcome professional challenges. The authors try to define the most effective practical methods employed to let an individual find special ways to control stress as well as what should be the pivot point in developing or optimizing coping ability of an individual and what specific methods contribute to this process.
