This review of recent evolutionary theories on psychopathology
takes on controversies and contradictions both with established
psychological thought and within the evolutionary field itself.
Opening with the ancestral origins of the familiar biopsychosocial
model of psychological conditions, the book traces distinctive
biological and cultural pathways shaping human development and
their critical impact on psychiatric and medical disorders.
Analyses of disparate phenomena such as jealousy, social anxiety,
depressive symptoms, and antisocial behavior describe adaptive
functions that have far outlasted their usefulness, or that require
further study and perhaps new directions for treatment. In
addition, the book's compelling explorations of violence, greed,
addiction, and suicide challenge us to revisit many of our
assumptions regarding what it means to be human. Included in the
coverage: * Evolutionary foundations of psychiatric compared to
non-psychiatric disorders. * Evolutionary psychopathology,
uncomplicated depression, and the distinction between normal and
disordered sadness. * Depression: is rumination really adaptive? *
A CBT approach to coping with sexual betrayal and the green-eyed
monster. * Criminology's modern synthesis: remaking the science of
crime with Darwinian insight. * Anthropathology: the abiding malady
of the species. With its wealth of interdisciplinary viewpoints,
The Evolution of Psychopathology makes an appropriate supplementary
text for advanced graduate courses in the evolutionary sciences,
particularly in psychology, biology, anthropology, sociology, and
philosophy.
