Abstract: The expert journal 'Psychology and Psychotechnics' has been again approved as the journal recommended by the Highest Attestation Commission.  In the first instance, it is a good proof of the editorial board's efficient acitivity. The editorial board of the Psychology and Psychotechnics Journal includes such major scientists as members of the Russian Academy of Sciences Abdusalam Guseinov and Vladislav Lektorskiy, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Anatoliy Zhuravlev, doctors of psychology Tatyana Berezina, Diana Boboyavlenskaya, Dmitriy Leontyev, Marina Rozenova, Andrey Rossokhin, Alexander Tkhostov and others. Psychologists living in various regions of the country publish their articles in the Journal. Manuscripts in editor's hand are constantly and promptly growing. However, it would be good to make the journal more academic and discussing hot issues. For this purpose, the editorial board introduces famous scientists who are capable of extending the boundaries of psychological space. Issues and topics that are at the intersection between psychology and philosophy, psychology and medicine, psychology and social sciences are growing especially important. The academic community tends to believe that over the past decades new knowledge has been accumulated mostly through researches in a particular sphere. Today the problem of uniting different spheres of differentiated sciences is growing especially important. Comprehensive researches are becoming more significant. This raises a question about psychology starting to explore and extend its own boundaries. The editorial board often receives letters from psychologists who study the problems arising at the intersection between philosophy and psychology. However, it does not mean at all that these two disciplines can't make a union. The editors of the Psychology and Psychotechnics Journal believe that it is very important to research all the spheres that are close to psychology. The union between medicine and psychology is also important. There are the two forms of psychology, theoretical and practical. The latter often appeals to neurotic or psychopathic processes which creates an opportunity for researching mutual aspects of psychology and medicine as well as their interaction.

Abstract: Salman Akhtar is the American psychoanalyst, the winner of numerous scientific awards and the author of more than three hundred scientific publications. In his book "Matters of Life and Death", he, relaying on the teaching of Sigmund Freud about the two "basic instincts" and complementing later studies of other well-known psychoanalysts, considers human life as consisting of the two main components, life and death, from the point of view of their opposition and continuity. Viewing happiness as one of the basic life-related concepts, the author clarifies its meaning in the works of different authors.

In the present book the author offers a brief review of psychoanalytical researches on the problem of happiness. Starting from Freud's views, he proceeds to analyzing different psychoanalytical concepts of happiness and then offers his own view on the phenomena that relate to happiness.

Abstract: The article is devoted to numerous connections between medicine and psychology. Medicine has long been considered to be the sphere in which psychology gained a very broad practical implementation. In his research Paleev describes the three factors that are important for studying diseases. Until recently genetic heredity seemed to play the prevailing role in the origin of diseases. The human genome mapping offer better opportunities for healing people and avoiding genetic predisposition to particular diseases. However, in his article Paleev demonstrates that we should not overemphasize the role of the genetic factor. Quite often diseases have the physiological basis. The role of the psychological factor is also enormous. So called psychogenic diseases are a proof of that. These diseases are mostly studied by psychiatry. In this regard, the researcher notes that analysis of anamnesis (disease history) involves consideration of psychologically important events that took place in a patient's life. Psychology helps an individual to structure his life experience and to explain it to the surrounding world. In his research Paleev focuses on the history of medical practice and employs materials of medical psychology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis. He bases his research on the fundamental provisions of modern humanities. Appealing to various kinds of psychotherapy, the author of the article reasons  about the social status of psychotherapy. He also draws a distinction between psychiatry and psychoanalysis and emphasizes the difference between the fates of these sciences in our country. Special attention is paid to peculiarities of psychosomatic diseases. Touching upon the unity between body and soul, the author of the article also stresses out the fact that body and soul are inseparable elements of human personality. In his article Paleev also raises the question about the emerging role of psychotherapy in medical practice.
