Title: Confused
Review: This is the kind of book that creates the impression that psychiatry deals with arbitrary collections of symptoms, with little understanding of what causes the symptoms. The book's occasional attempts to describe evolutionary influences rarely describe any connection between the symptoms and reproductive fitness, leave me wondering whether they have a clue about evolutionary theory.For better insights into this subject, read the book Shadow Syndromes, which describes some disorders as extremes of traits which provide benefits in more moderate forms. And read The Nurture Assumption to see what's wrong with Bowlby's attachment theory that Stevens and Price mention approvingly.
