An analysis of the data allowed us to see that more than half of the student teachers have psychosomatic or somatoform diseases against the background of an increased level of mental stress and neurotization. The research made it possible to identify a stable system of psychological defenses and non-adaptive coping strategies among psychology students with a high level of neurotization and substantiate the recommendation for the targeted formation of more mature and adequate adaptation strategies in student teachers of this group.
