Opis

New discoveries about the genetic underpinnings of many kinds of human experience are now constantly being made. This book explores the impact of these discoveries on the ways in which the common mental disorders are best conceptualized and treated.

Recenzje

"...provides a succinct, enjoyable, and thought-provoking summary of current research on the genetic and environmental interplay in relation to measures of psychopathology. This book successfully makes behavior genetic research accessible to readers unfamiliar to the field but does not leave out important issues surrounding the complexity involved in this methodology and interpretation of results."
—Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books
