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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBehavior Genetics of Psychopathology\u003c\/i\u003e summarizes the state of the field, examining\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe 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:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADHD: the view from quantitative genetic research.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutism spectrum disorders and their complex heterogeneity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenetic influences on anxiety and depression in childhood and adolescence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvidence for etiologically-defined subgroups within the construct of antisocial behavior.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleep and psychopathology: the reasons for their co-occurrence. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBehavioral genetic approaches to the etiology of comorbidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpigenetics of psychopathology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis combination of timeliness and depth of coverage make \u003ci\u003eBehavior Genetics of Psychopathology\u003c\/i\u003e a frontline resource for behavior geneticists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists, and is perfectly suited to graduate students looking to join these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493953004\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-9509-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 344\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47407054585996,"sku":"9781493953004","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493953004.jpg?v=1775827535","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781493953004","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
