Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the means of preventing professional psychological disorders. The social-psychological phenomenon of self-presentation is viewed as the personal structure which takes part in personal interactions and defines the mode person interprets the data taken from the social environment and the personal data transmitted back to the environment. Variety of presentational images includes everyday interactions, professional presentation and quite recent phenomenon of social networks' communication. We presume that self-presentation has to be analysed as an interpersonal structure or an explanation scheme of the way person deals with information. Nowadays occupational stresses, psychological break downs and burning out are very common, mainly due to the changes of the social-psychological environment and processes of information exchange. The named changes are peculiar features of modern society and can be classified as interpersonal information processing disorders, because they have incorrect data processing as their common feature. We suppose that forming an adequate picture of oneself and understanding the true meaning of the data taken from the environment are the necessary premises of effective self-presentation construction. And effective self-presentation is the basis for person's ability to prevent interpersonal information processing disorders. Besides it is supposed that profound research of the self-presentation structure can show the ways of effective prevention of interpersonal information processing disorders. Basic interrelations between given phenomena are discussed on the grounds of social-psychological discourse.
