Highlights include the depth and foundation set in Chapter 2, as well as the chapter on the genetics of anxiety and mood disorders.... This book would serve as an excellent handbook for clinicians to keep nearby while treating psychopathology in a clinical setting. -- (01/01/2006) This is a first-rate book summarizing, for the clinician, the current knowledge in psychiatric genetics. I highly recommend it. -- (01/01/2006)
