The article discusses the formation of reflexive skills using such a psychological method as film training. When choosing this method, both the phenomenon of reflexive skills itself and the features of reflexive skills in adolescence were analyzed. An attempt was made to substantiate the importance of the formation of reflexive skills in adolescence, for example, by the fact that formed reflexive skills are necessary for adolescents to resolve disagreements with parents, disputes with teachers, conflicts with peers, etc. The formed reflexive skills will help the teenager to analyze the difficulties that have arisen in the relationship, and subsequently find more constructive solutions in these situations. The article presents other important aspects of life in which adolescents need formed reflexive skills. Having studied the importance of reflexive skills in adolescence, we proposed a psychological method for their formation. This method was proposed based not only on the possible effectiveness, but also because of the relevance of this method in adolescence. Subsequently, an attempt was made to develop a lesson structure using film training elements.
