Results. The theoretical justification of the problem includes consideration of the constructive psychology formation stages and options for their interpretation. An overview of the philosophical direction of constructivism and the main constructivist approaches (radical constructivism, social constructivism, constructive alternativeism) is carried out. Based on these approaches, the basic developmental and humanitarian positions of constructive psychology, its structure and main functions are described, and its scientific transformative intent in the study of the human psyche is emphasized. A scientific knowledge levels scheme of psychology is proposed and technological knowledge of constructive psychology is defined as an epistemological product of its reflexive functioning. In the methodological situation of psychology development, constructive psychology is assigned the role of integrating knowledge about the development of the human psyche. The issue of training constructive psychologists as specialists in applied fields of psychology, who will be able to implement the theory and practice of self-management in social and applied spheres, has been updated.
