This book shows how evolutionary theory can be applied in psychotherapy and mental health care. The theory of evolution and its applications in psychology and psychopathology have increasingly informed and shaped mental health sciences. While there are important publications devoted to an evolutionary perspective on psychopathology and psychiatry, surprisingly, there is a paucity of research and books on psychotherapy. This volume intends to fill this gap by showing how evolution-derived concepts can be applied in clinical psychotherapy.

Recent advances in mental health care have highlighted the need to reform approaches to conceptualise and treat mental disorders. The ongoing debate about conceptual issues in psychopathology and psychiatry, which is partly reflected in expert discussions preceding the publication of the latest editions of the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), has emphasised some of the shortcomings of contemporary approaches, without offering fully shared solutions. Clearly, there is a need for an integrative framework that does justice to research and practice, as well as diagnostic and clinical models of psychopathological conditions. The aim of this book is to show why and how applications of evolutionary theory to mental health can facilitate this integrative process. More specifically, the book aims to offer a unified framework to the understanding of the evolution of the human mind and give more weight to the meaning of psychological processes and behavioural dispositions, which eventually may become maladaptive to the point of generating what we define as psychopathology.

The book is divided into three sections. The first section presents the basic knowledge of evolutionary theory and its applications in psychopathology. The second section reviews different and specific applications of evolutionary theory in psychotherapy. The third section delves into specific topics related to psychotherapy from an evolutionary perspective.

A bold, systematic account of the role of repetition in shaping modern subjectivity for Kierkegaard, Freud, and Lacan.

Repetition and Subjectivity offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between Kierkegaard's concept of repetition and the psychoanalytic one. Starting from the thesis that what lies at the heart of repetition is an ontological principle of duality, Bara Kolenc introduces four matrices of repetition: deflation, reformation, inflation, and formation. The fourth-formation-underlies the modern subject. While the contours of this scheme can be traced back to the ancient Greeks, Kierkegaard is the first to have articulated it fully, paving the way for Freud and Lacan to outline its logic most clearly. Rich and rigorous, Repetition and Subjectivity provides a new foundation for understanding modern subjectivity. Newly examining a range of philosophical and psychoanalytic concepts, from the Greek anamnesis (remembering) to the death drive and jouissance, Kolenc reveals repetition to be not simply a phenomenon but rather a central mechanism in forming the subject's relationship with reality.

How can research move from observation to transformation without sacrificing rigor? This volume brings together cultural, feminist, decolonial, and community-engaged approaches that make voices too often silenced in mainstream psychology both audible and authoritative. Across 2 volumes, spanning gender equity, mental health, education, and community development, contributors from Latin America and Spain present grounded research designs, dialogic analyses, and creative artefacts that reconfigure who speaks and what counts as knowledge. The collection is a call to humanize academia and broaden the methodological horizons of the social sciences, proposing an ethical framework that redistributes epistemic authority.

In this first volume, focusing on feminist and gender-sensitive research and mental health, chapters interrogate diagnosis and discourse through phenomenology and psychoanalysis, co-produce knowledge with survivors and caregivers, and pilot arts-based, participatory designs that support recovery. Grounded in concrete field projects, the book offers a tested methodological toolkit. Its contributions foreground the agency and subjectivity of research participants, and scholar-practitioners with "one foot on the street and one in the university."

Read alongside Volume 2, which extends this into research on education and community development, the two-volume set traces how participatory methodologies travel across contexts while remaining locally situated. By centring the research subject, the book challenges dominant assumptions and prevailing power structures, opening new avenues for intervention and inquiry. It will be essential reading for students and scholars in critical psychology, mental health, medical anthropology, Latin American and Hispanic studies, and public policy.
