      ABOUT THE PUBLICATION

      Life expectance of the male population, although traditionally lagging behind the female population for 4–6 years, is steadily increasing in all developed countries, reaching in some cases, as in Japan, 85 years. Therefore, the problem of male general, mental and sexual longevity acquires special significance, which has been repeatedly emphasized in international forums held under the aegis of WHO. Due to this, the monograph prepared by A. Tadevosyan and A. Muradyan is, undoubtedly, an actual and timely study and generalization of the authors’ many years of scientific and therapeutic activity. Especially I would like to note the interdisciplinary approach, originally laid in the basis of this publication, as one of the authors is a recognized specialist in psychiatry, and the second – in urology, sexopathology and normal sexology.

      Unlike the generally accepted approaches that primarily appeal to the biological patterns of the functioning of the organism and the individual, the main accent of the presentation is deliberately shifted by the authors to the sphere of psychosocial problems of health and longevity. For a long time, medicine and psychology were strongly drawn towards describing some kind of average and even asexual personality. At the beginning of the 20th century, this tradition was violated by psychoanalysts Helen Deutsch and Karen Horney, who first prepared works devoted to the specifics of female psychology. On the Soviet space this topic was highlighted in the monograph of Abram Svyadoshch “Women’s Sexual Pathology”, which became a medical bestseller and survived several reprints. However, so far there are not so many systematic works in which an attempt is made to penetrate deeply into the inner mental world of men. It is this penetration that characterizes the peer-reviewed monograph analyzing the links between the neurophysiological and psychosocial mechanisms of male sexual activity, both in norm and in pathology.

      I am pleased to note that, unlike most authors who traditionally (mainly because of their ignorance) do not appeal to the brilliant discoveries of Sigmund Freud, the authors actively use the psychoanalytic concept, while not only referring to the works of this outstanding scientist, but also actively disputing with him. On the whole, the book is distinguished by the substantiation and novelty of the view on a number of key problems of psychic and somatic pathology, imbued with the spirit
