Publisher's Summary

Written by renowned clinician and researcher Dr. Mike Abrams, The New CBT: Clinical Evolutionary Psychology is the first book to make evolutionary psychology and behavioral genetics readily accessible to mental-health professionals, students, and researchers. By explaining the role of heredity in all major DSM disorders, Dr. Abrams helps listeners reduce the stigma of psychological dysfunctions and better understand how the brain, the genome, and the body dynamically contribute to mental disorders.

He describes how the application of evolutionary psychology and behavioral genetics provides both etiological insights and novel treatments for each of the major psychological disorders. He offers evidence-based explanations of how evolution and genetics can pragmatically resolve the enduring problem of nature versus nurture. Additionally, he helps listeners understand how eons of environmental changes have guided the way people deal with distress, perceive their environment, and judge others as well as themselves. By viewing both normative and problematic behavior through an evolutionary lens, listeners gain new perspectives in applying CBT that are thoroughly modern, effective, and take into consideration cutting-edge research.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Attached PDF

The audio book has been great so far, however it did not come with the attached pdf to which the narrator keeps referring … I’ve contacted audible and the author, and there has been no help so far

It's well research I still disagree with some part

My issues with the book is that it try to some up almost all human behaviour to genetics and what we have inherent in us when this really isn't the case the environment plays a important roll as well for example if humans are put in a environment High in stress eg a abusive environment it has been shown to turn off some genes which could lead to health problems and mental illness. The author also tries to take the blame off parents who abuse their kids by blaming it on genes which is terrible in so many ways if they were never put in that kind of environment to begin with they would most likely never had the mental health problem to begin with some of the points in this book really disgust me the author should realise that there is a lot more to mental health than just genes read any biological psychology textbook and you would realise that
