In this episode we are joined by Chinmay Aradhye, an experimental psychology doctoral candidate at Oakland University, to discuss the doctrine of evolutionary psychology as a biologically-backed macro-level theory by which clinical models can align to enhance scrutiny and scientific rigor.

This discussion follows concern regarding the disparity in competency and scientific-backing which plague the mental health community. Hopefully listeners will be better informed when seeking a professional to help with physical, mental, or emotional fitness.

In addition to discussing evolutionary psychology, adaptation, and the flow of scientific understanding from biology to psychology, we cover some problems facing the research, clinical care, and university environments which contribute to difficulty in the public trusting related professionals and their findings.
