Adam talks about the biopsychosocial model of medicine and how evolutionary psychiatry offers to improve upon it. Evolutionary approaches can inform the biological, psychological and social approaches to mental health, and bring together disparate areas of research under an overarching theory.

It is chapter 2 in the book 'Evolutionary Psychiatry: Current Perspectives on Evolution and Mental Health", published by Cambridge University Press.
