The term "meta-psychology" is used today by specialists of different knowledge areas. It is proposed to return it to scientific psychology in a literal and least common in present day meaning as "science about psychology", to fill with adequate content on the basis of V. F. Turchin's meta-system transition theory and to use for actual theoretical problems solving. The object, structure and methods of meta-psychology are described. The borderline between meta-psychology and methodology, understanding as methods' study is drawn.
Key words: mets-psychology, meta-science, empirical language, theoretical language, meta-system approach, meta-analysis, methodology.
