ABSTRACT:     Autoaggression is one of the forms of human behavior in an extreme situation and its nature and "severity" is the result of the addition of personal psychological attitudes, and individual biological reactions of the body, arising under the influence of certain social conditions. The complexity of the phenomenon under study is primarily due to its interdisciplinary nature. The problem of studying autoaggressive behavior is among the urgent problems of psychiatry, medical psychology, medicine, and jurisprudence. There are several terms reflecting the process of self-harm, which are used as synonyms, but often carry different semantic loads. The purpose of the research: the identification of individual and personal characteristics in adolescents of pre-conscription age with autoaggressive behavior was revealed. A total of 67 male adolescents aged 15 to 17 years were examined, who have referred to the Tashkent city neuropsychiatric dispensary with behavioral disorders and adaptation disorders and with the presence of autodestructive tendencies. All established diagnoses were based on the criteria of the International Classification of Diseases of the tenth revision (ICD-10). Based on research, adolescents with autodestructive tendencies are a risk group, since they consider self-injurious behavior as a way to deal with stress, tension, and irritation. The individual psychological characteristics of adolescents with autoaggressive behavior were revealed, represented mainly by a demonstrative, excitable type of character accentuation with pronounced features of extraversion - introversion, high rates of neuroticism, and anxiety.
