All We Have to Fear: Psychiatry's Transformation of Natural Anxieties into Mental Disorders
Horwitz, PhD, Allan V. (Board of Governors Professor of Sociology, Board of Governors Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University, New Brunswick)
All We Have to Fear is a groundbreaking look at how to distinguish between anxiety conditions that are mental disorders, those that are natural reactions to threats, and those that are natural products of evolution, but are mismatched with one's current social environments. Building on the new science of evolutionary psychology, Horwitz and Wakefield argue that true mental disorders stem from dysfunctions of naturally selected psychologicalmechanisms.
