Abstrakt: The article presents arguments concerning the issue of evolutionary psychology. It states that theorists who have regarded evolution in terms of disorder also accept the place of values in psychiatry. Evolutionary psychology is believed to provide new significant ways of dealing with mental disease. It is also stressed that evolutionary psychology depends mainly on reverse engineering because it needs comparatively few historical data but risks making erroneous conclusions.
