The article reveals the possibilities of the educational process of the university in the organization of psychological assistance to students studying in the specialty “Clinical Psychology”, in awareness and, most importantly, in the resolution of intrapersonal conflict by personality. The authors did not set themselves the task of conducting a theoretical analysis of scientific views on the problem of conflict. It was important not so much to study the essence of the scientific concept of ‘intrapersonal conflict’, as the phenomenon of a specific student's personality with its background, with existing experiences. The data obtained from the results of psychological diagnostics and self-analysis organized with students confirmed the need to find opportunities for the educational process in organizing targeted psychological assistance to students experiencing intrapersonal conflict and determined the further vector of providing the required assistance within the framework of the educational process of the university. The effectiveness of the work carried out is confirmed by the positive responses of students who managed to understand the nature of their intrapersonal conflict and, therefore, take measures to resolve it, which for the authors was the highest value and purpose of the study. The proposed content, of course, does not create a new understanding of the term ‘intrapersonal conflict’, but only justifies the need to apply the existing theory in the educational process, in teaching students, which is already used by the authors of the article.
