Evolutionary Psychiatry: A new beginning: Routledge Mental Health Classic Editions

Autor Anthony Stevens, John Price
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2015
Evolutionary Psychiatry was first published in 1996, the second edition followed in 2000. This ground breaking book challenged the medical model which supplied few effective answers to long-standing conundrums. A comprehensive introduction to the science of Darwinian Psychiatry, the second edition included important fresh material on a number of disorders, along with a chapter on research.
Anthony Stevens and John Price argue that psychiatric symptoms are manifestations of ancient adaptive strategies which are no longer necessarily appropriate but which can best be understood and treated in an evolutionary and developmental context. Particularly important are the theories Stevens and Price propose to account for the worldwide existence of mood disorders and schizophrenia, as well as offering solutions for such puzzles as paedophilia, sado-masochism and the function of dreams.
Readily accessible to both the specialist and non-specialist reader, Evolutionary Psychiatry describes in detail the disorders and conditions commonly encountered in psychiatric practice and shows how evolutionary theory can account for their biological origins and functional nature.
This Classic Edition of the book includes a new preface by Anthony Stevens and a foreword by Paul Gilbert.

Recenzii

"Anthony Stevens and John Price have got together in Evolutionary Psychiatry to propose a "revolutionary" new way of understanding mental illness by means of Darwinian theory. They argue persuasively that conditions like depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and schizophrenia are the result of environmental maladaptation of strategies embedded in the phylogenetic makeup of the human species.'"- British Medical Journal
"The authors modestly claim that their book is no more than a first effort to define the basic components of human behaviour and its disorders in terms of evolutionary biology … In my view, this attempt at a new paradigm is one of the most fruitful developments in psychiatry in recent years." - Anthony Storr, the Financial Times
'Warmly recommended.' - Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian
"The book serves as a thought-provoking introduction to a young and rapidly growing area of research. I suspect that the authors' claim that "psychiatry is entering the most exciting phase in its history" may prove correct." - Stuart Blackman, New Scientist
"This book will be of interest to psychiatrists working in many areas and should be available in medical libraries'"- British Journal of Psychiatry
