Reviews

This is an evolutionarily sophisticated book manuscript that I found very valuable. -- John Alcock, Emeritus Professor, School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University This book is a refreshing counterpoint to the classical and still fashionable reliance on narrative biographical formulations in clinical psychiatry, that endure despite a century of countervailing behavioral neuroscience and genetics evidence. The author manages to entertain while tackling this complex topic. --Albert HC Wong, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Canada
