Crisis situation in modern psychological science is analyzed; its methodological origin is established. The conclusion that causes of various symptoms of crisis in psychology are rooted in narrow understanding of its object and that such understanding prevents integrative processes in which psychology at the beginning of the XXI century has need for was drawn. It is shown that prototype of new understanding of an object can be find in the interpretation of "psyche" in Yung's analytical psychology. Understanding of this kind can be a "clue" to crisis overcoming because it is a necessary condition for working out the pithy methodology for psychology aimed to integration of psychological knowledge.

Key words: crisis in psychology, methodology of psychological science, object of psychology, experimental psychology.
