This paper discusses: previous ethological and evolutionary explanations of psychiatric disorders; a behavior-physiology interaction framework for explaining the frequency and course of selected psychiatric illnesses; atypical behavioral capacities among persons with psychiatric disorders; behavioral mechanisms; and ethological explanations of the behavior of patients suffering from psychiatric illnesses. The importance of behavior-physiology interactions is emphasized. Possible consequences of current taxonomic systems (DSM-III) are considered. It is concluded that ethology has a vital role in increasing our understanding of psychiatric disorders through identifying: characteristics of disorders; selected causes; degree and type of compromised mechanisms; and, intervention effectiveness.
先前对精神障碍的行为学和进化解释；一个用于解释特定精神疾病的发生频率和病程的行为-生理相互作用框架；精神障碍患者的非典型行为能力；行为机制；以及对患有精神疾病患者行为的行为学解释。强调了行为-生理相互作用的重要性。考虑了当前分类系统（DSM-III）可能产生的后果。得出的结论是，行为学在通过识别以下方面来增进我们对精神障碍的理解方面具有至关重要的作用：障碍的特征；特定病因；受损机制的程度和类型；以及干预效果。
