The name of Charlotte Buehler is rarely mentioned in the scientific literature today. Sometimes her research on childhood mental development is succinctly referenced by child psychologists. In connection with the increased interest in the problems of humanistic psychology, it is sometimes mentioned along with the names of recognized authorities in this direction and, as a rule, giving the latter a clear preference, although the Association of Humanistic Psychology, created by them jointly, was headed by S. Buhler. In the history of psychology, this woman left a bright mark, going from amateur experimentation with uncomplicated diagnostic techniques to deep philosophical generalizations about a person's life path. Her versatile scientific interests, united by a common humanistic tendency of research, were embodied in remarkable works that became classical in psychology.
Charlotte Bertha Buhler was born on December 20, 1893 in Berlin. She was the eldest child and the only daughter of Rosa and Hermann Malakhovsky. Her father was a talented architect; he, in particular, designed the building of the first department store in Germany. Coming from a poor Jewish family, he achieved success through his labor. Charlotte's mother, a beautiful and gifted woman, was of a contradictory nature. She could not help but feel satisfaction from belonging to respectable strata of society, but she was deeply worried that social status made the desired career of a singer unacceptable for her. Charlotte never experienced emotional closeness with her parents. Much closer to her was her younger brother, with whom she spent long hours in childhood playing and playing music together.
From her parents she took on a deep interest in cultural issues; subsequently, already a professional psychologist, she published several works on literature and aesthetics. Psychologically, the influence of her parents was expressed in the extreme contradictoriness of her nature: love for humanity could be combined in her with arrogance towards an individual; in communication, she could amaze with both amazing spiritual warmth and repulsive coldness.
At the age of 17, Charlotte Malachowski developed an interest in psychology, largely driven by dissatisfied religious pursuits. She was baptized in the Protestant faith, which was very common among wealthy German Jews who thus tried to defend themselves against anti-Semitism. Not finding answers to the questions that worried her in religious dogmas, she turned to works on metaphysics and religious philosophy. In the end, the questions of spiritual life aroused her greatest interest. After reading the works of G. Ebbinghaus, who believed that thought processes obey the laws of association, Charlotte was not inclined to agree with this opinion and began to conduct her own experiments.
After graduating from a private school, Charlotte entered the University of Freiburg in 1913, where she studied medicine, philosophy and psychology. The following spring, she moved to Kiel and studied at the local university. Here she fell in love with a geography student, with whom she, however, was not destined to unite: her chosen one went to war and died. She completed her higher education at the University of Berlin (1914-1915) under the guidance of one of the pioneers of experimental psychology - Karl Stumpf. With her characteristic independence, Charlotte rejected Stumpf's offer of admission to graduate school, which in those days was an extraordinary honor for a woman. Stumpf preferred the study of emotional processes, Charlotte was more interested in the problems of thinking. On the recommendation of Stumpf, she entered one of the most famous psychological laboratories in Europe, which worked at the University of Munich. The head of the laboratory was Oswald Külpe, a leading specialist in the psychology of thinking.
In December 1915, a few months after Charlotte moved to Munich, O. Kühlpe died, and his place was taken by his closest assistant Karl Buhler, who had returned from the war. While not yet familiar with him, Charlotte learned that he was conducting experimental studies of thought processes, similar to those that she had previously tried to carry out herself. A mutual attraction arose between colleagues, and in April 1916 they got married. In 1917 their daughter Ingeborg was born, in 1919 - their son Rolf (their upbringing was mainly carried out by the governess).
In 1918, Charlotte Buehler defended her dissertation in the psychology of thought and received her Ph.D. In the same year, she published an original study on children's fantasies and fairy tales.
In the following years, Karl and Charlotte Buehler worked hand in hand, in particular at the Dresden Institute of Technology, where Charlotte became the first woman to receive the title of assistant professor. In 1923 she received a Rockefeller Fellowship and went on an internship in the United States. There she worked at Columbia University under the direction of E. Thorn-dyke. Her mastery of behavioral research methods further strengthened her inclination towards direct observation of behavioral phenomena. Upon returning from America, she joined her husband, who by that time headed the psychology department of the University of Vienna. Together they founded the Psychological Institute, in which Charlotte Buehler headed the department of child psychology.
The research carried out by her during the Viennese period of her scientific activity was distinguished by bright originality and depth. In the history of science, it is customary to talk about the Viennese school of developmental psychology created by it, which united many researchers (H. Getzer, K. Reininger, B. Tuder-Hart, E. Koehler, etc.). Charlotte Buhler worked out the problems of age periodization and development of children in different periods of the formation of social behavior, etc. She made the first attempt to create a periodization of adolescence, and she proceeded from the maturation of sexual function as the main process in the light of which all other aspects of development should be considered. According to her theory, the sexual function is presented in consciousness as a "need for complement"; the awakening of this need falls precisely on puberty.
The Viennese school was widely known for diagnostic studies of the level of mental development of a child. S. Buhler together with H. Getzer developed original tests for preschoolers, which are still used in psychodiagnostic practice. The indicator of the level of development was the "development coefficient", introduced by her instead of the well-known "intelligence quotient". It was defined as the ratio of the "developmental age", as determined by the test results, to the child's passport age. Based on the test results, a "development profile" is drawn up, which shows how various aspects of behavior develop.
The most important result of the studies of this period, carried out including by the biographical method, is the periodization of the individual's life path. The research material was, in particular, youth diaries, which S. Buhler, based on personal experience, considered a very valuable and informative source. She considered individual mental development in the light of the results of life and the realization of the inner essence of a person. Human life is presented as a process of formation of target personality structures. The intentional core of the personality is the "self". This spiritual education, given initially and basically unchanging, changes only the form of its manifestation. The main driving force behind the development of S. Buhler considered the individual's need for self-fulfillment. The concept of self-realization is close in meaning to self-actualization, however, S. Buhler distinguishes between them. Self-realization is understood by her as the result of a life path, when "the values and goals to which a person aspired, consciously or unconsciously received adequate realization." But at the same time, self-fulfillment can be considered as a process that in different age phases can act as well-being (up to the age of one and a half years), then as an experience of the completion of childhood (12-18 years), then as self-realization (in maturity), then as fulfillment (in old age).
S. Buhler pointed out that the completeness of self-realization depends on the ability of the individual to set goals that are most adequate to its inner essence. This ability is called her self-determination. Self-determination is associated with the intellectual level of the individual, since the depth of a person's understanding of his own potential depends on the intellect.
The years spent in Vienna were scientifically productive and prosperous in every respect. Each day began with work at the desk; publications were published regularly. Charlotte and Karl were surrounded by devoted students and colleagues.
In 1938, while abroad, Charlotte Buehler learned that the Nazis who seized Austria had serious claims to her husband in connection with her Jewish origin. Both of them were dismissed from their posts, and their property was confiscated. The Buhler family shared the fate of many exiles persecuted by the threat of genocide.
After a short stay in Oslo (Charlotte Buhler was a professor at a local university in 1938-1940), the Buhler family moved to the United States. The next five years of their existence were characterized by instability, disorder, frequent travel in search of decent work. S. Buhler taught for some time at Clark University in Worcester, worked as a clinical psychologist in Minneapolis (where her activities were actually limited to testing).
In 1945 S. Buhler received American citizenship. From that time on, she worked in Los Angeles, but did not achieve the formal status that she had in earlier times. Not content with this position, she opened her own psychotherapeutic practice, seeking to apply her ideas to a new social sphere for her. The American period of scientific creativity S. Buhler is devoted to an in-depth study of the problems of the main tendencies of the personality, the periodization of the life path. In 1964, together with, and she took part in the organization of the conference, which laid the foundation for a new scientific direction - humanistic psychology. In 1965, she became the first president of the Humanist Psychology Association. Central to this scientific school, recognized as a "third force" in psychology in opposition to Freudianism and behaviorism, were the concepts of personal growth and self-actualization. These problems are devoted to the most important works of S. Buhler - "The Life Path of Man" (1968, co-authored with Fred Massarik) and "Introduction to Humanistic Psychology" (1972, co-authored with Melanie Allen). Surrounded by like-minded people, Charlotte Buhler finally found a worthy place in the scientific environment of her new homeland.
In 1972, feeling serious deviations in her health, she moved to the children in Stuttgart. She tried to practice there, but all the time it was hard for her to be separated from “her America” and the intellectual brotherhood that she left there.
(12/20/1893, Berlin - 02/03/1974, Stuttgart) - Austrian, later American psychologist. Karl Buhler's wife. She studied at the universities of Freiburg, Kiel, Berlin, Munich. Since 1920, Buhler has been a private lecturer at a technical university in Dresden. Since 1923 - assistant professor, and since 1929 - professor at the University of Vienna, in 1938-1940. professor at the University of Oslo (Norway), since 1940 professor at the University of Los Angeles. At the same time, Buhler was engaged in private psychotherapeutic practice. In the 60s. Buhler becomes one of the leaders of humanistic psychology, in 1970 he was elected president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology. Buhler's pre-war studies were mainly devoted to the problems of child and adolescent psychology. The Vienna School of Developmental Psychology, created and headed by her, gained fame, first of all, for diagnostic studies of the mental development of a child, the development of test methods characterized by the maximum proximity to natural conditions. These studies later led Buhler to the idea of the phases of development and to the creation of a periodization of the life path of the individual (Der menschliche Lebenslauf als psychologisches Problem, Leipzig, 1933; Goettingen, 1959), which is considered the beginning of the biographical research of the life path of the individual. Many of the methods developed by Buhler during this period remain valid to this day. In the second, American period of his scientific career (1940-1970) Buhler continued to develop a holistic approach to the study of the life path of the individual. Human life, according to Buhler, is characterized by four coexisting basic tendencies: satisfaction of needs, adaptive self-restraint, creative expansion and the establishment of inner harmony. Different tendencies may prevail in different periods of an individual's life, but her self-realization as a result of her life path is possible within the framework of any of these tendencies. Buhler is guided by the provisions on the uniqueness of each life path, on the activity and self-determination of the subject, on his focus on the realization of life goals, meanings and values. The integration of this activity is carried out by the personality (self, das Selbst) without the participation of consciousness. At the same time, the personality appears in Brühler as an originally given spiritual formation, which basically does not change throughout the life path.

Bühler Charlotte(20.12. 1893, Berlin - 02.03.1974, Stuttgart, Germany) - German, Austrian and American psychologist. Professor at the Universities of Vienna (1929), Oslo (1938), Los Angeles (1940). She was educated at the universities of Freiburg, Kiel, Berlin. Studied under E. Husserl. She worked in the psychological laboratory at the University of Munich under the direction of O. Kühlpe, then K. Bühler. Doctor of Philosophy (1918, dissertation on the psychology of thinking). After completing an internship in the United States (with E. Thorndike at Columbia University, 1923), she continued her research at the University of Vienna, within which she, together with her husband K. Buhler, created the Psychological Institute. In 1920-1930-egg. conducted research on the diagnosis of the mental development of the child ("Diagnostics of the neuropsychic development of young children", 1935). After the Anschluss of Austria, Hitler's Germany (1938) was forced to emigrate first to Norway, then (from 1940) to the United States, where she continued her research. In 1965, she became the first president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, which she created jointly with A. Maslow, K. Rogers and other prominent psychologists. The scientific concept developed within the framework of the Association is associated with the books The Life Path of a Person (1968, co-authored with F. Massaric), Introduction to Humanistic Psychology (1972, co-authored with M. Alain), etc. The periodization of the life path of the individual , proposed, marked the beginning of the psychobiographical direction in psychology.
For the history of the sociology of youth, the most significant is the book The Mental Life of the Young (Das Seelenleben des Jugendlichen), published in Jena in the first edition in 1922 (Bühler, 1922) and a year later as an “expanded and completely revised edition” taking into account new materials, received from readers (Bühler, 1923), and then reprinted many times, is one of her earliest works. The book contains a concept that is regarded as one of the first theories of youth (Criticism ..., 1982: 38–46; Lukov, 1999: 30–32; Lukov, 2012: 133–138). I.S.Kon indicates that she concretized and developed E. Spranger's theory (Kon, 1989: 35). did indeed refer to some of the works published in 1916–1922 in The Mental Life of the Young. (including: Spranger, 1922), but she could not know his main work in the field of youth theory, since it was published later.
She herself associated the beginning of a theoretical understanding of the mental life of adolescents with four reports that she made in Dresden in 1920 during teacher training courses, based on materials from the diaries of several girls. She saw in these diaries something more than her listeners-teachers needed, and realized that the interest in the period of the formation of a young person was still shifted towards practice, proceeding from the limited experience and tasks of professional communities - pedagogical, confessional, political, medical (which also followed from the analysis of the literature), left aside the psychological characteristics of an important stage in the formation of a person, which correlates with youth (Bühler, 1923: V). Thus, the initial design of the study lay in the psychological field itself, but he already took into account that a certain part of the topic lies in the border areas of psychology and complex scientific problems: in this regard, he calls "sexual science" and sexual pedagogy, youth movement, youth consumption, protection youth rights and youth education, school problems, etc.
Buhler made an attempt to generalize a variety of empirical data and information from the literature to explain the specifics of youth. In her hands were personal documents - diaries of adolescents (at first only girls, but later the collection expanded, and the diaries of young men were also at her disposal). Subsequently, this path of empirical research was criticized and the diaries obtained as a result of the analysis (first three girls, "then there were 14 and finally 52", were recognized as unreliable (Critique ..., 1982: 40). However, one must take into account, firstly, that keeping diaries in the cultural layers of European countries (including Russia) at least since the 18th century has been a habitual occupation and an important technique of introspection and self-education: the diary was entrusted with emotional impulses and doubts, it was a place of confessions, confession, repentance, self-criticism; secondly , criticism of the research manner was based on a general critical attitude to the qualitative strategy of sociological research, which later itself was subjected to counter criticism and work with life stories, including individual ones, gained recognition in sociology. Working with diaries was in the spirit of the times and turned out to be quite productive. Diary processing materials for characterizing puberty were widely used as argumentation in the scientific literature of her time (Gruhle, 1930).
Buhler was the first to give a multifaceted characterization of the period of maturation, or puberty. According to her definition, the time of puberty is "the period when the formation of primary and secondary sexual characteristics occurs ... We call the time up to the beginning of puberty the childhood of a person, the subsequent periods of puberty and adolescence - youth" (Bühler, 1923: 9). The biological orientation of the concept was emphasized by the author himself, and the psychological characteristics of the youth were dependent on this. The thesis of a two-part structure of youth has not been properly understood by some researchers of her work. This, in particular, gave rise to his criticism in Marxist literature. But it is quite consistent: it promotes the idea that the general need of adolescence is the "need for complement", arising from the sexual instinct, but realized in a different context of mental life at the stages of puberty and adolescence.
For the need for supplementation, it is a psychological reflection of the fact that puberty gives rise, as a concomitant phenomenon, to a disturbance of the individual's calmness, his search for a partner for procreation. Poe, “in order to ensure connection with the other sex, the phenomena accompanying maturation should cause the individual to need a supplement, make him excitable, dissatisfied with his closeness, his I should open to meet with You. This is the biological meaning of maturation ”(Bühler, 1923: 11). The need for supplementation predetermines, according to, a special age-related phenomenon - longing (Sehnsucht), which acts as the main feature of the mental structure during this period.
The need for supplementation is realized at different levels of psychological maturation and is realized in two forms: primitive and cultural. The primitive form of psychological reactions directly depends on the biological principle. It is characterized by heightened sensitivity, excitability, strengthening of all abilities and interests, a heightened sense of beauty, "striving for preening and putting oneself in the foreground", the desire to wander, finally, by the same longing, the role of which in the mental structure of the personality of the period of youth was especially emphasized. The cultural form of mental maturation rises above the primitive and manifests itself as mental maturation. The phenomena of this class form complex forms of mental life, quite autonomous, but going back to the same source as the phenomena that form a primitive form. S. Buhler also elevates the cultural form (spiritual maturation) to the need for supplementation.
L. S. Vygotsky emphasized the importance of such a division of the forms of mental maturation: “Hence the social inclusion, the choice of a profession, etc., not directly related to the phenomena of puberty, but at the core is still the“ need for supplementation, ”from which the main features follow. The same need also determines mental maturation: it is longing and striving, a search that gives all functions a focus on the future. "(Vygotsky, 1929: 62). addition ”, Vygotsky nevertheless assessed the book as a step forward in denying the primitive connections of all changes in adolescence with puberty (ibid: 63).
From an empirical generalization of the need for complement, it goes to a deeper distinction between the biological and psychological components of the personality, which means the recognition of the certain autonomy of the two aspects of maturation. Biologically, the period of puberty ends "as soon as the reproductive apparatus is ready for use." The psychological side of maturation is revealed through the character and interests of the individual. In puberty, they manifest themselves in the most dramatic forms, the feelings of a young man are heated and at the same time, against the background of puberty and general physical development, he develops an increased self-confidence, which gives an impetus to the emerging desire for freedom, prepares “isolation of the individual, proud isolation and separation from the outside world. A young man withdraws in his inner life from his parents, brothers and sisters, friends and friends. In this pre-phase, the feeling of life is completely positive from the very beginning ”(Bühler, 1923: 52). emphasizes that the basis of mental transformation is the dynamic development of feelings: “It is amazing to what extent the will and intellect of a young person can be controlled by his feelings” (Ibid .: 97). At the same time, during puberty, feeling does not generate the homogeneity that passion can acquire in an adult. “For this, the youth life of feeling is too chaotic, too varied. She sends separate impulses here and there, ”therefore vanity easily turns into obedience and devotion to a loved one, courage of self-sacrifice alternates with sharp egoism, stubbornness with obedience, diligence with fatigue (Ibid .: 97).
Buhler reveals the role of cultural factors in the mental life of adolescents. Describing the development of will during puberty, she notes that sexual attraction only in the absence of culture acquires the "direction desired by nature" immediately. In a higher culture, the sexual development of a young person “slows down”, the attraction is separated, modified. Friendship and enthusiasm, nature, art and intellectual interests fulfill this distracting role, act as a kind of cultural brake. In particular, the philosophical questions of mental life are brought to the fore - against the background of an increasing and deeply tested inner solitude. “These interests are often found only in adolescence, when the path of instinct, the own goal of longing is already foreseen or clearly recognized, and when the soul in self-education prepares for further expectation and being, seeks joy, support and opens new meanings on their way” (Ibid .: 109).
Ultimately, in the period of youth, the intellect reaches its true peak, the will - the true strength, the personality is formed, passions, goals, ideals are formed.
So, (1) connected mental and spiritual life in the period of youth with a physiological factor - puberty, but (2) showed these processes as autonomous; she (3) revealed the peculiarities of the development of feelings, will and intellect during this period, noting both their rapid, abrupt development, and the special subservience of will and intellect to feelings; among other things, established (4) the ambivalence of feelings and, after that, the duality (or even plurality) of the entire framework of personal characteristics at a certain stage of a person's life cycle, which ends with the departure of youth; (5) proposed a different interpretation of the stages of youth than that of G.S. and a number of other contemporary authors (for example, A. Bidl): she took out the transitional period, and within the period she divided two stages, which she designated as adolescence (Pubertät , from 10–12 to 17 years old) and adolescence (Adoleszenz, from 17 to 21–24 years old). It is of interest that the age limits (primarily the upper limit of adolescence) were associated by the researcher with sociocultural factors. That is why she found it difficult to determine when the end of her youth was coming. The Romans, recalls, considered the achievement of 31 years of life to be such a boundary. In addition to the fact that the researcher recognized the right for such a practice by virtue of history, she noted that "a strong mental being", until the approximate stabilization of character, still continues at this age. When adolescence is considered to be completed by the age of 21 or 24, it is assumed that by this time the “first point of tranquility” has already been reached, a certain stability is observed. “The first storm and onslaught have died away, the general direction of the future life has been outlined, an approximate fulcrum has been chosen, and the swiftness of the first efforts to acquire a worldview, choose a profession and form oneself weakens and gives way to a calmer pace of progress. The first exciting experiences of love, nature, art and work are known, the first exemplary social order is realized. The most turbulent part of the development of human life has passed "(Bühler, 1923: 27).
In such an interpretation of the upper age limit, there are no traces of biologization; this is a completely sociological characteristic based on the recognition of the importance of factors that will be called "social construction of reality" 40 years later.
In many modern concepts of youth, positions are found that are similar to the conclusion that adolescence is psychologically characterized by a desire for denial. In boys, negativism of assessments accompanies almost all early adolescence. This, in fact, is a crisis phase of development, which is negatively assessed by society. Thus, the teenager finds himself in no man's land - he is not a child or an adult. Such assessments are widespread in the sociology of youth today. They reflected not so much a theoretical thought, as the everyday idea of young people as the bearer of a social threat. In a number of cases, on this basis, sociological interpretations of aggressive behavior and extremism of young people, especially schoolchildren, have grown (Schubarth, Melzer, 1993). Here, the adolescent crisis is examined in the context of the characteristics of the Western sociocultural system, and such an examination seems to be a positive development on the sociological basis of ideas about the age crisis.

The first and the largest in its theoretical potential formulation of the problem of the life path was noted by
S. Buhler, who made an attempt to integrate biological, psychological and historical time of life in a single coordinate system. She outlined three aspects of studying the life path of the individual:
- Biological and biographical - the study of objective conditions, the main events of life and behavior in these conditions;
- Historical and psychological - the study of the history of the formation and change of values, experiences, evolution of the inner world of a person;
- psychological and social - the study of the history of human creativity, products and the results of his activities.
The life path in the concept of S. Buhler is considered as a process consisting of five life cycles (phases of life). Each phase of life is based on the development of target personality structures - self-determination.
The first phase (from birth to 16–20 years old) is considered the period preceding self-determination, and, as it were, is taken out of the path of life.
The second phase (from 16–20 to 25–30 years old) is the period of a person’s testing in various types of activity, his search for a life partner, ie. his attempt to determine himself, to predict his future.
The third phase (from 25-30 to 45-50 years) is the period of maturity. During this period, his expectations from life are real, he soberly assesses his capabilities, his self-esteem reflects the results of the path of life as a whole, the first results of his life and his achievements.
The fourth phase (from 45-50 to 65-70 years) is the phase of an aging organism. Professional activity is coming to an end or nearing completion. Adult children leave the family, biological decay sets in. The inclination to dreams, memories increases, the setting of promising life goals disappears.
The fifth phase (65–70 years before death) is old age. Most people leave their professional activities, the inner world of old people is turned to the past, they think about the future with anxiety, anticipating an imminent end.
Considering the path of life as a specific form of human life, S. Buhler saw the main purpose of life in the manifestation of the desire for self-actualization. Self-actualization, in her opinion, is the result of a person's self-realization in various fields of activity, mainly in the profession and family life. The life path in this case consists of external and internal events, which are its main units.
So, for understanding the problem of the life path of an individual, from the point of view of S. Buhler, the following provisions become important:
a) the life of a specific person is not accidental, but natural, it lends itself not only to description, but also to explanation;
b) the main driving force of personality development is the innate desire of a person for the all-round realization of himself;
c) a person can realize himself only through creativity, creation;
d) self-fulfillment is the result of a life path.
