First published in 2000, the Textbook of Psychiatry for Southern Africa 2e is a textbook for medical and allied health care students in Southern Africa.

Drawing on evidence from across the behavioural and natural sciences, this book advances a radical hypothesis: that madness exists as a costly consequence of the evolution of a sophisticated social brain in Homo sapiens. It is aimed at those in the fields of psychiatry, psychology, sociology and anthropology, and also at the general reader.
