This book considers evolutionary theory as central to the discussion of human behavior and discusses ways in which evolutionary concepts can inform psychiatry. The authors discuss the emotions, mood, symptoms, and information processing, and examine how some of the prominent features of mental disorders can be seen as adaptive responses to the environment and life's circumstances.
