As a dynamic, interdisciplinary field, behavior genetics and its
evolution are being followed closely by scientists across the
psychological and medical domains. The discoveries surrounding the
human genome and the advancement in molecular genetic technologies
have led to studies becoming increasingly sophisticated and
yielding yet more conclusive and useful results. This is certainly
the case in the area of child and adult psychopathology. Behavior
Genetics of Psychopathology summarizes the state of the field,
examining the role of genes and environment as they affect common
neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. Emphasizing key
research areas (comorbidities, twin studies, the integration of
methods), the book assesses the current literature, offers
up-to-date findings, sorts through lingering controversies, and
identifies a clear future agenda for the field. Expertly-written
chapters focus on issues of both general salience that shape
behavior genetics of psychopathology, to specific disorders of
major clinical importance, among them: ADHD: the view from
quantitative genetic research. Autism spectrum disorders and their
complex heterogeneity Genetic influences on anxiety and depression
in childhood and adolescence. Evidence for etiologically-defined
subgroups within the construct of antisocial behavior. Sleep and
psychopathology: the reasons for their co-occurrence. Behavioral
genetic approaches to the etiology of comorbidity. Epigenetics of
psychopathology. This combination of timeliness and depth of
coverage make Behavior Genetics of Psychopathology a frontline
resource for behavior geneticists, psychologists, psychiatrists,
and neuroscientists, and is perfectly suited to graduate students
looking to join these fields.
