The aim of this paper is to present the evolutionary considerations of McLean about the "Triune Brain". This author described by this term a hierarchy of three-brains-in-one, consisted by three evolutionary formations, radically different in structure and in chemistry. They are characterized as reptilian, paleomammalian, and neomammalian. Each of them plays an important role in the regulation of behavior, but there heterogeneity can induce schizophreniform ideas and feelings. Mc Lean speculations about Psychiatry emphasize genetic and biological factors in the genesis of mental disorders and lead to neglect the role of socio-cultural and familial factors.
本文旨在介绍麦克林关于“三位一体大脑”的进化观点。这位作者用这个术语描述了一种三合一的大脑层次结构，它由三种进化结构组成，在结构和化学组成上有根本差异。它们分别被称为爬虫类脑、古哺乳类脑和新哺乳类脑。它们每一个在行为调节中都起着重要作用，但它们的异质性会引发精神分裂症样的想法和感受。麦克林对精神病学的推测强调了精神障碍发生中的遗传和生物学因素，而忽略了社会文化和家庭因素的作用。
