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.
