Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to welcome you at the 9th Congress of the European Federation of Sexology organized on April 13-17 2008 in Rome.

The Conference theme, Therapy, Prevention and Promotion of sexual well-being, is a special opportunity to exchange and improve our scientific knowledge on female and male sexuality in a wide frame where the quality of life has to be prominent.

The modern concept of Sexology, as a systematic branch of the science, was first proposed in Europe by Iwan Bloch just 100 years ago and in 1908, Magnus Hirschfeld and later Max Marcuse, edited the first journal in this area with the original contributions of outstanding personalities such as Freud, Adler, Lombroso and Mantegazza.

In the past century a considerable amount of reliable data allowed us to understand the physiology of sexual response and, in the last decade, we have seen a momentous effort to improve our diagnosis and treatment tools.

Nevertheless new ideas and models for assessing and treating old and new sexual problems are emerging as well as a collective wisdom on the important role of prevention and promotion of sexual health following an holistic approach where the psychosocial aspects are deeply considered.

The 9th EFS meeting will be an extraordinary occasion for all of us to exchange our opinions from different points of view as the scientific agenda contains a broad range of clinical and experimental topics with a great number of European and international experts in sexology.

A qualified programme is combined with the warm and charming city of Rome in Spring: We are sure that your contribution to this event will increase the growth of our scientific community.

So welcome in Rome!
