Evolution in Therapy and Society | Daniel Glass & Niruban Balachandran | Evolving Psychiatry #60

Working out the evolved structure of the mind will have implications across therapy and society. Which directions are most promising? Daniel J. Glass, PhD, is a board-certified clinical psychologist whose clinical work focuses on anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, and evidence-based psychotherapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy, exposure-based approaches, and acceptance-based interventions. His academic interests centre on the application of evolutionary theory to clinical psychology, including how evolutionary perspectives may inform the understanding, classification, and treatment of mental disorders.Niruban Balachandran is co-leader of PsychTable, an open-science project dedicated to classifying and evaluating evidence for evolved psychological adaptations. His work focuses on organising claims about the evolved mind in a rigorous and transparent way, with relevance for psychology, public understanding, policy, and the broader behavioural sciences.Together, Daniel Glass and Niruban Balachandran bring complementary perspectives on the relationship between evolutionary theory and psychotherapy: one grounded in clinical practice, and the other in the systematic classification and evaluation of evolutionary psychological evidence.This podcast is financially supported by the Human Ecology Group of the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine at the University of Zurich.
