“…The specification and testing of biopsychosocial models is certainly challenging (Engel, 1986;Kline et al, 2003;Schwartz, 1982). Nevertheless, such work provides an integrative framework for multiple levels of analysis.…”

“…Another frequently cited contribution of Eysenck was his influential criticism of psychotherapy (Eysenck 1952a). In this groundbreaking publication, Eysenck questioned the efficacy of psychotherapy by systematically reviewing 24 studies involving 7,000 patients who received various forms of psychotherapy, including psychoanalysis, nondirective psychotherapy, treatment by general practitioners, and eclectic psychotherapy (Kline et al 2005). His conclusion that therapeutic effects were modest or non-existent was experienced as a brutal indictment of contemporary practices in psychotherapy; he found that patients were more likely to get better due to spontaneous remission, a figure Eysenck estimated to be as high as 66%.…”

Various theories and models of evolutionary psychology posit that personality traits are part of adaptive strategies regulating behavioral adaptation to various environmental (ecological and/or social) conditions encountered during childhood.Life history theory provides the most comprehensive framework to understand how circumstances experienced in early life might influence personality. It proposes that personality traits develop into a certain profile depending on different conditional factors. Actual circumstances define resource allocation, that is, how the individual utilizes available resources (e.g., food, parental support, etc.) in order to maximize survival and/or reproduction. The most dominant environmental components to affect allocation strategies are level of mortality, level of stability or predictability of conditions, and level of heterogeneity of the trait in the local environment. Less favorable conditions (i.e., higher mortality rates and less parental investment) are suggested to form personality traits linked to more exploitative behavioral strategies with unrestrictive sexual behavior, whereas more advantageous circumstances proposedly shape rather prosocial behaviors and more restricted sexuality. Early childhood experiences (i.e., quality of caregiving, low socioeconomic status of the family) can be seen as indicators for such environmental factors which might also promote the development of personality profiles linked to certain life history strategies.
