Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to present a picture of the inner life of man, as it interacts with the surroundings, as it is experienced, and as it is expressed in normal behaviour and psychopathology. Man's inner life is always a significant source of action; and it arouses in other persons, through its behavioural expression, some of their most important experiences. The dynamic interplay of each person's inner life, his behavioural expressions, and the experiences he arouses in others, are the major forces that constitute society and go to form the culture in which human beings live. Comparisons with the circumstances of animal life, where the environment is much simpler and the reactions to it far less flexible, bring out sharp contrasts as well as some similarities. Throughout this book the importance of infancy and early childhood is strongly emphasized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatry and clinical psychology have long been divided about the roles of nature and nurture in the pathways to psychopathology. Some clinicians offer treatment almost entirely based on neuroscience. Some psychologists offer psychotherapies almost entirely based on the impact of environmental stressors. Paris argues for a balanced middle ground between nature and nurture in human development. This book reviews and integrates research showing that the key to understanding the development of mental disorders lies in interactions between genes and environment. It explores why personality is a key determinant of how people respond to stress, functioning as a kind of psychological immune system. This model represents a shift from overly simple and reductionistic constructs, based primarily on biological risks or on psychosocial risks in development. Instead, it offers a complex and multivariate approach that encourages a broader approach to treatment. This book is essential for all mental health clinicians who are interested in understanding the roles of nature and nurture in the development of psychopathology.
