Male’s Health in the Objective of Stressology – Beyond the Usual
Описание книги
The book “Male’s health in the objective of stressology – beyond the usual” is an example of talented scientific-educational work, interesting, trustworthy and useful to doctors, psychologists, students, and what is more – to a wide range of readers interested in their own mental problems.
Psychological traumas and disappointments, accumulating, entail a discord between feelings, mind and body. We lose a sense of inner integrity, peace in the soul, freshness of feelings and can no longer admire childishly a flower, the sky and their colors, appreciate simple joys of life. As a result, with age, we increasingly feel the tragedy of existence; we plunge into sufferings or into “appraisal experience of life” which substitutes for us the joy of a truly sensual perception and experience of reality. We are inclined to ponder on life rather than live, regretting our own losses. This is the concept of life formed in the human mind during the long years of life of mankind on the earth. The proposed monograph destroys this stereotype. The book is distinguished by substantiation and novelty of the view on a number of key problems of psychic and somatic pathology, imbued with the spirit of scientific optimism and humanism. This is a thoughtful and considerate invitation to a reader to think about a complex system called human-male. The main attention in the publication is devoted to stress and how stress is combined with biological factors of the male body, creating a fine border between pathology and borders of the norm. Authors in their analyses and observations smoothly integrate biology and psychology. The theme of human sexuality, touched on by the authors, is also important. Undoubtedly, human sexuality is itself an interesting subject because it includes a whole range of preferences and complex forms of behavior, especially in men. The book is written by proficient specialists, at the same time it is easy to read since it is addressed to a wide readership.

A. Tadevosyan is the direct organizer and participant of the work on rendering help to victims of the 1988 Spitak earthquake in Armenia. Since 1989 for many years she was the organizer and Head of the “Stress” Center. The term “Stressology” belongs to her. A Tadevosyan in the most difficult conditions that prevailed at that time in Armenia, created a new service, thereby ensuring the development of stressology in Armenia and determining the priority of this direction not only in the extreme crisis situation. The most important aspect of A. Tadevosyan’s activity was the aspect of developing and introducing a new field of medicine – stressology to students, clinical residents and doctors. For these purposes she wrote a monograph (as the first text-book) “STRESSOLOGY – as a field of medicine on the problem of mental trauma and post-traumatic health disorders”. In 1996 in St. Petersburg A. Tadevosyan was awarded the M. V. Lomonosov Gold Medal for her contribution to education and solving problems on human security and life. As a participant of the National Program for the Development of Psychosocial Aspect “Disaster Management” of the United Nations in Armenia, in 1998 A. Tadevosyan conducted training cycles with rescuers and was awarded a commemorative medal from Hungarian Ministry of Civil Protection. A Tadevosyan is a participant of the Geneva Initiative on Reforms in Psychiatry in 1991–1992 and attendee of many World Congresses.

The first phase of the GAS is the phase of alarm – manifests itself as a non-specific symptom complex in the form of “neuroticism”. It has a bioelectric nature, and therefore a discontinuous (discrete) character; with a prolonged, lingering stress-situation a person enters the permanent stress zone, which is provided by the three-axis second phase of the GAS, which is neurohormonal in nature and manifests itself as psychosomatic symptoms, syndromes and diseases. The latter arise as a consequence of the transition of functional changes to structural in different organs and organ-systems. In the absence of psychotherapeutic and biotherapeutic assistance, permanent stress leads to the consumption of the hormonal limit, loss of some links of the GAS, which is fraught with the development of the third phase of the GAS – the phase of astenization revealed by the burnout syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, various asthenic and asthenic-vegetative states.
The structure of the adaptation model consists of two different levels:
