Synopsis

Behaviour genetics is at the interface of the two disciplines, genetics and psychology. Whereas earlier texts have stressed what is known about the genetics of behaviour, the emphasis here is more on what purpose such information can have for science and society and what it can tell us about behaviour. Behaviour genetics is an area of controversy and the limitations and implications of the various research areas are fully discussed. The book is aimed at psychology and psychiatry students seeking a different perspective on behaviour, and at genetics students, who need to be aware of the problems in assessing behaviour and its genetic determinants. Undergraduate; textbook.
