Book Description
This book is unique in taking an evolutionary perspective to understanding psychiatric and psychosomatic conditions. It explores how the human brain/mind has been shaped by natural and sexual selection and why adaptations to environmental conditions in our evolutionary past may not always work in our best interests.

Book Description
Arranged by subject-matter, this book brings together papers published as early as 1895 and as late as 1926. In this way the reader can trace the historical evolution of Freud's ideas. The earliest paper is his classical account of anxiety neurosis, a term coined by Freud which was to win such general acceptance that its origin is now usually overlooked. Other papers cover a range of pathological syndromes, including hysteria, obsessional neuroses, sexual deviations and paranoia. The last work in the book is Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety, published as a separate book in 1926.

Book Description
This book begins with the assumption that a deep understanding of the origins of psychopathology, human dysfunction, and their course is fundamental to the quest for the good society, and perhaps, even to our survival as a species. The studies presented compare prevalences and risk factors across time and place, and make use of concepts and methods from history, geography, sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology, social and medical services research, social policy, psychiatry, and epidemiology. Collectively, they illustrate the methods and methodological difficulties involved in the effort to achieve a deep understanding and provide important insights into the disorders and dysfunctions that are investigated.

Book Description
Why are some people more vulnerable to common mental disorders than others? What effects do genes and environments exert on the development of mental disorders? The Origins and Course of Common Mental Disorders describes the nature, characteristics and causes of common emotional and behavioural disorders as they develop across the lifespan, providing a clear and concise account of recent advances in our knowledge of the origins and history of anxious, depressive, anti-social, and substance related disorders. Combining a lifespan approach with developments in neurobiology, this book describes the epidemiology of emotional and behavioural disorders in childhood, adolescence and adult life. David Goldberg and Ian Goodyer demonstrate how both genes and environments exert different but key effects on the development of these disorders and suggest a developmental model as the most appropriate for determining vulnerabilities for psychopathology. Divided into four sections, the book covers: the nature and distribution of common mental disorders the biological basis of common disorders the human life cycle relevant to common disorders the developmental model. This highly readable account of the origins of emotional and behavioural disorders will be of interest to behavioural science students and all mental health professionals including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and counsellors.
