Summary/Abstract: The article considers the crucial transformation of traditional aesthetical concepts in contemporary (psycho) therapy practices. As the rule, these practices come across the ambivalence and eclecticism of traditional functional concepts of beauty or autonomy. On the background of that ambivalence and eclecticism, the aesthetical concepts are seen in a new light. In that light, the contemporary forms of art therapy and some kinds of psychotherapy move into the field of socio-ideological problems.
