This book offers a rigorous and accessible exploration of human behaviour through the lens of evolutionary neuropsychology – an evidence-based perspective that is often underrepresented in traditional psychology-focused, higher education programs. Designed for students and practitioners, this work will equip readers with a deeper, more integrated understanding of why we think, feel, and behave the way we do, reducing uncertainty and expanding clinical confidence.

This book explores the current state of psychology as a field, challenges popular but ineffective paradigms, and supports Abrams’ Informed Cognitive Therapy as a practical, effective therapeutic framework.

Along the way, this work elucidates the connection between behavioural genetics and psychotherapy, teaches emotional literacy, explores key psychiatric diagnoses (and their treatment) from an evolutionary perspective, and describes the process of human development in clear, engaging language. The result is a resource that will not only seamlessly deepen reader’s understandings of a variety of complex psychological concepts, but will fundamentally reshape how readers understand and approach the human mind.
