The scheme and principles of psychological assistance for adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) is presented in the article. 25 adolescents aged 13–15 years of, with a high level of anxiety, depression and a weak sense of coherence took part in the study. Psychological measures covered from 5 to 10 individual consultations with CHD teenagers and separately with parents. The program of psychocorrection consisted of elements of rational and cognitive-behavioral therapy, analysis of complex life and clinical situations (cases), autogenous training and elements of cardio- and psychoeducation. The program was effective for all adolescents with CHD. We managed to normalize the adolescents’ level of anxiety and eliminate in vast majority of them the signs of depression. In addition, within six months we managed to further develop and enhance a sense of coherence among CHD adolescents.
