It has long been recognized that people with identifiable
congenital causes of developmental disabilities display peculiar
patterns of behavior and temperament. An explosion of new
information in the field of so-called behavioral genetics has
precipitated a need for a book describing behaviorial phenotypes.
The book consists of three parts: Part I opens with an account of
the evolution of behaviorial genetics in developmental disability.
The second part covers measurement and research methodology and
includes chapters on various types of self-injurious behavior that
occur in different phenotypes and a chapter on Fragile X--a model
for inquiry into behavioral phenotypes. The sections on genetic
analysis are particularly useful to clinicians who are unfamiliar
with contemporary genetic techniques. Part III summarizes
behavioral phenotypes of over thirty biologically distinct
conditions.
