Abstract:
Mythological images have penetrated into different spheres of the social being including professional ones. Mythological images are particularly frequently used in clinical psychology forming terms-mythololgisms (Oedipus complex, Diogenes syndrome, narcissism, etc.). Using a mythological name in terminoformation is preceded by reduction of mythological narration, the mechanism of which is defined
by us with the help of cognitive matrix, applied to the definition of the scientific concept.
Keywords: conception of the myth, mythological knowledge, terms-mythologisms, cognitive matrix, definition, reduction, nomination, etc.
