4.0 out of 5 stars Introductory book on behavioral genetics, May 1, 2003

By	Wong Chi Kin (Hong Kong, nil China) - See all my reviews

The book is a rather good introductory book upon behavioral genetics, covering various emotional and behavioral disorders. It is stimulating and interesting, and very academic in nature. To a reader searching for practical implication of behavioral genetics, there may be little appointment. No matter what, I do agree that the behavioral genetics is a subject that every psychologist, or even every person, should have some ideas about this new development in science.
