Recenzje

Still divided between the biomedical model and the psychosocial perspective, psychiatry urgently needs new theoretical frameworks to regain scientific credibility. By integrating in a masterful manner data from epidemiology, developmental psychology, and neurobiology, Marco Del Giudice shows the potential of life history theory in improving our understanding of the origin of mental disorders. Evolutionary Psychopathology fills a void in psychopathology research and should be a mandatory addition to the reference libraries of evolutionary psychiatrists.
