Abstract Sexual aversion disorder is characterized by the presence of aversion and avoidance of making a genital contact with sexual partners. In the DSM-IV-TR, the characterization of the problem was extended by the inclusion of some of the features of phobias such as anxiety, fear, and disgust; thereby describing it as a phobia.

Psychological trauma can happen from a number of events, such as a rough or negligent childhood, a divorce, and even the death of someone close ...

“What the Church needs to know about the human mind”

Dear X, While science can explain religion, religion is not so well-equipped for the endeavor of explaining scientific facts. Science is well aware of the fact that the human mind evolved to believe in gods and that religion (main religions, that is) has not exactly updated its point of view when it comes to planetary history. It would be easy to explore Dawkins’ perspective and demonstrate religion’s detrimental role in the evolution of the human species in order to update religion regarding its limits. However, I would like to adopt a positive vision and focus on a different ...
