Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Of all the mental illnesses, schizophrenia eludes us the most. No matter the strides scientists have made in neurological research nor doctors have made in psychiatric treatment, schizophrenia remains misunderstood, almost complacently mythologized. Without a reason for the illness, patients… feel even more alienated than they already do, families are left hopeless, and doctors struggle to provide accurate care. Steven Lesk, though, after a medical career dedicated to those affected by schizophrenia and a determination to find the answer to its existence, presents a groundbreaking theory that will forever change the lives of the mentally ill. In Footprints of Schizophrenia: The Evolutionary Roots of Madness, Lesk threads evolutionary evidence with neurological evidence, turning the mysteries of our minds into a tapestry of logic. With his breakthrough theory and this unprecedented book, Lesk will invite necessary cultural dialogue about this stigmatized illness, provoke new psychiatric and pharmacological research, and provide unequivocal comfort to those afflicted and affected by schizophrenia.Lesk's "primitive organization theory" is based in human evolution, from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens, and the specific changes to our brains after the emergence of language. We have existed in human-like form for six million years, but we've only had language for 50,000; within the vast span of evolutionary time, that's hardly any time at all. Lesk elucidates us to the hormones affected by language, especially dopamine, and with brilliant clarity, connects human evolution, our brain affected by language, and those with schizophrenia whose dopamine doesn't flow in our new, adaptive way. In other words, the twenty million people who have schizophrenia in the world don't suppress dopamine in the way evolution has trained us, so their brains don't process language well and function as if they're in a hallucinatory, delusional dream state. Not only will Lesk's theory focus treatment efforts for schizophrenia, but it will also affect that of other dopamine-related mental illnesses like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's chorea, Tourette's, ADD, and more. Publishing Lesk's work will usher in a new era of psychiatric understanding, one that the field and the public desperately needs.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Of late several unique issues swirl around our communal consciousness. There is a disturbing subset of young people shrugging off their expected life trajectories and a decided rise in youth anxiety, depression and suicide to which some fault the onset of smart phone addiction circa 2010. We… also see an uncanny swell in transsexuality with social debate as to their place in a society used to kiln-hardened gender roles. And most of all we note an alarming drooping of population growth in industrialized nations as if people had decided that procreation itself simply lacked the necessary inducement. Testosterone levels have been declining for decades. In my book, "Predator Factor" I will posit a comprehensive rationale for what we're observing, one that is both satisfying and unexpected, hoping to illuminate by proffering a previously allergic slant, namely evolution. I will offer a much needed counter-intuitive explanation for the above mentioned social trends that beg understanding. Smart phones are just the lowest hanging fruit of blame for youthful ennui, and in some ways my book offers a rebuttal to Jonathon Haidt's book "The Anxious Generation" as well as books similar to "Alone Together" by Sherry Turkle. The unseen hand of evolution is now in free fall due to the neutralization of most of the jungle predators our pre-historic ancestors evolved within. We have moved from natural selection to sexual selection, and now, with this hydraulic vacuum of predatory intention, to selection by indecision. While evolution's previously hard wired mandate of survival and procreation used to dictate our life trajectory and behaviors, we now see a luffing of evolution's sails, due, I assert, to the absence of the predatory intensity inherent in our cave man past. In short, people are decoupling from evolution, a major game changer in the forward progress of humanity. Characterizes the demise of evolution due to the neutralization of most of the predators we used to experience in our 7 million year old recent jungle existence. This item is printed on demand.
