Depression: The Evolution of Powerlessness offers a fresh
perspective on research, theory and conceptualisations of the
depressive disorders, derived from evolution theory and arguing for
the adoption of the biopsychosocial model. The book is split into
three parts. Part I explores the major distinctions between all
types of depression and Part II offers an overview of evolution
theory and its application to depression. Part III covers the major
theories of depression; theories are compared and contrasted,
highlighting controversies, weaknesses and strengths, and where
cross fertilisation of ideas may be beneficial. The final chapter
outlines why simple theories of aetiology are inadequate and
explores the role of culture and social relationships as elicitors
of many forms of depression. This Classic Edition, with a new
introduction from the author, brings Paul Gilbert's early work to a
new audience, and will be of interest to clinicians, researchers
and historians in the field of psychology.
