Cultures de Guerre in Picardy, 1917
In 1917 French and foreign agents reconstructed sections of Picardy destroyed by Operation Alberich, a “scorched-earth” program implemented by departing Germans. The region’s unanticipated maltreatment led French Third Army forces to evaluate and assist Picardy’s devastated homesteads and refugee-residents. Under General Georges Humbert, the Third Army implemented juxtaposing reconstruction policies in Picardy. Along with inhabitants, bureaucrats…

Darwinian Psychiatry (DRAFT)
Can evolutionary theory explain depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders? The authors re-examine this old question in light of current research and show that evolution may provide the essential framework for understanding both everyday human behavior and a range of mental disorders. Their discussion includes research on emotions, moods, symptoms, and mental processing. The authors make a compelling case for the view that prominent features…

Prevalence differences in depression among males and females: Are there evolutionary explanations
Differences in male‐female prevalence rates of depression are interpreted in evolutionary perspective. Three evolutionary hypotheses are evaluated: ( a ) depression represents an evolved strategy to deal with adverse social interactions, particularly among partners, ( b ) depression has self‐preservative and manipulative features, and ( c ) depression is a consequence of failing to achieve biological goals. While these hypotheses are not necessar…
Darwinian psychiatry
In Darwinian Psychiatry, Michael T. McGuire and Alfonso Troisi provide a conceptual framework for integrating many features of prevailing models. Based on Darwinian theory rather than traditional approaches, the book offers clinicians a fundamentally new perspective for looking at the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Writing from this innovative theoretical position, the authors discuss the origin of path…

Personality features in vervet monkeys: The effects of sex, age, social status, and group composition
Personality ratings were completed in 97 socially living vervet monkeys ( Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus ) ranging in age from 19 months to 14 years. Monkeys were rated on 17 distinct items on three separate occasions over a 14 month period. For each rating session, factor analysis resulted in similar factors: socially competent, playful/curious, and opportunistic, which are provisionally labeled as personality features. Individuals' scores on th…
Rank, relationships, and responses to intruders among adult male vervet monkeys
We examined the influences of dyadic relationships among captive adult male vervet monkeys ( Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus ) on behavior directed toward caged “intruder” males placed inside subjects' enclosures. Subjects were all 9 adult male residents from three stable social groups, each of which contained 3 adult males, at least 3 adult females, and their immature offspring. Every male was observed in two 3‐hour sessions, each time with one o…
Maternal protectiveness and response to the unfamiliar in vervet monkeys
Vervet monkeys ( Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus ) show individual differences in approach‐avoidance behavior when faced with an unfamiliar and potentially threatening situation. Prior research from our colony demonstrated that juveniles who had experienced high levels of early maternal protectiveness were more cautious in response to novelty, compared to juveniles who had had less protective mothers. The research reported here was designed to ver…
Acute changes in social composition and agonistic behavior in male vervet monkeys ( Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus )
Among nonhuman primates the composition of social groups influences the interactions of group members. We assessed the effects of acute changes in social composition on behavior among 15 adult male vervet monkeys ( Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus ). Subjects were observed in their basal social groups which comprised 3 adult males, 2–4 adult females, and offspring; and in two subgroups consisting of either two or three adult males. Agonism and vigi…
Moralistic Aggression and the Sense of Justice
Did Davies Go Far Enough
Writing as someone outside the field of political science, but very much involved in studies of behavior-physiology interactions, James Davies' article seems to me to be compelling in its argument for a reorientation of much of political science to include biology. As Davies points out, there is clear and convincing evidence that different physiological states are associated with different probabilities of aggression. Moreover, he cited only a pa…

Determinants of fecundity and reproductive success in captive vervet monkeys
Between 1975 and 1983, adult female vervet monkeys ( Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus ) over 3.5 years of age, living in two undisturbed social groups in a captive colony in Sepulveda, California, have averaged 1.0 births per female year with a mean interbirth interval of 10.7 months. Increased fecundity did not result in decreased survival rates of offspring in this population. Fecundity was influenced by the mother's age and dominance rank. The p…

Social Dominance Relationships in Male Vervet Monkeys: A Possible Model for the Study of Dominance Relationships in Human Political Systems
This article discusses dominance relationships in groups of male vervet monkeys and the potential relevance of selected findings from vervet studies to research on human political behavior. In considering the vervets, we first focus on the empirical data de scribing dominant and non-dominant animals, including both behavioral and bio chemical points of distinction, and then turn to the species-typical constraints associated with such dominance re…

Repression, Resistance, and Recall of the Past: Some Reconsiderations
Comparative Psychophysiological Studies of Alcoholic and Nonalcoholic Subjects Undergoing Experimentally Induced Ethanol Intoxication
Four chronic alcoholic and 4 nonalcoholic subjects were studied before, while, and after they underwent experimentally induced intoxication. Chronic alcoholics expected that when they became intoxicated their feelings, behavior, social importance, and interpersonal relationships with those around them would undergo major changes in directions they considered "better" and "more pleasing." Similar kinds of expectations were not present in the nonal…

Comparative Psychophysiological Studies of Alcoholic and Nonalcoholic Subjects Undergoing Experimentally Induced Ethanol Intoxication
Four nonalcoholic and 4 alcoholic subjects were studied under metabolic ward conditions before, while, and after they underwent experimentally induced ethanol intoxication. Behavioral and psychophysiological findings obtained from each group are compared and contrasted. Nonalcoholic subjects showed aversive behavioral responses to drinking and developed gastrointestinal signs and symptoms during the drinking phase of the experiment. The alcoholic…

Sex and aggression during rhesus monkey group formation
Observational data from 16 newly formed social groups of rhesus monkeys were analyzed to identify patterns of behavior that correlated with the frequency and intensity of aggression directed toward females. The results revealed significant correlations between heterosexual behavior and female-female noncontact aggression and between female homosexual behavior and female-female contact aggression. The role of female homosexual behavior and its rel…

Effects of Group Size, Composition, Introduction Technique and Cage Apparatus on Aggression during Group Formation in Rhesus Monkeys
Aggression directed toward rhesus monkey females was monitored for 2 wk. following group formation under several experimental conditions which included: (a) variation in the number of females (6, 12, 18) and the number of males (1, 2); (b) modifications in the cage apparatus (stripped, boxes and pipes, and visual barriers); and (c) differences in introduction technique (unfamiliar animals vs combination of two pre-existing groups). None of these …

Behavioral Study of Two Patient Groups during Psychotherapy
Two psychotherapy groups of patients with personality disorders were observed for 12 sessions using direct observation techniques. 13 behaviors occurred with differing frequency between the two groups, resulting in a behavioral profile consistent with the diagnostic categories. The study is a first step in an attempt to create a replicable method and data base for measuring behavioral effects of therapeutic interventions
