The Evolution of Psychiatry

I think the angle this article takes reflects a slight misunderstanding of the conclusions that would be made in the event that psychiatry placed more emphasis on evolutionary reasons for extant behaviors and/or neurological structures seen in humans today.

For example, barring indirect enhancement of fitness which homosexuality may bring to one’s kin, evolutionary psychology would likely determine that any sexually reproducing organism which does not mate with the opposite sex clearly is displaying aberrant/incorrect behavior which is essentially “diseased” by extension.
