Personal determinants of life style are examined in psychotherapeutic discourse. Several ideas are determined 1) in culture the value of “maturity” is lost, the normative approach is replaced by tolerance; 2) rising and expanding of two phenomena is observed: devaluation of the adulthood and total infantilisation; 3) the difficulties in articulation of general desirability of the life style: some factors of life style development that cannot explain the formation of the effective style are examined. In the article the topological model of the psychological field is presented, the concept of "emotional scheme" and its structure are defined, namely: experiences, physical manifestations, system of early memories, person’s interpretation of his or her life, motivational tendencies. It is not possible to change the life style without changing the emotional scheme and all its components. The clinical observation regarding the formation of a life style based on a fixed emotional scheme is presented. The connection of all components of the emotional scheme with some types of life style such as "active activity", "active serving", "passive serving", "strangeness", "suffering" is provided in the article. In addition, the connection between the emotional scheme and the characterological styles is analyzed. The fixed and specific for a type of character of the experience and experiences of the primary "block" are not identical: they are in terms of the ontological "objectivity" and the phenomenological perspective. The perspective of further research is the clarification of the relationship between, on the one hand, the concepts of "characterological style" and "emotional scheme", and, on the other hand, "characterologically relevant emotion" and the primary "blocked" experience.
