We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming Symposium on Evolutionary Psychiatry, organized by the Service of Old-Age Psychiatry (SUPAA), DP-CHUV!
Evolutionary psychiatry is inspired by insights and concepts from evolutionary theory and ethology to address enduring questions such as why rather than how psychiatric disorders come along or why severe and harmful psychiatric diseases remain so common in our societies. The aim of the Symposium is to present evolution ary insights by renowned speakers and to exchange with them on how the human mind has been forged over evolutionary times and evoke links with cur rent psychopathology. We wish to raise awareness among interested attendees about the evolutionary perspective on psychopathology. The programme will gather prominent European representatives in the fields of evolutionary psychi atry and palaeontology. We are very excited to welcome you to this after noon! -Pr Armin von Gunten Pr Pierre Vandel
