Full Description

Increasing interest over recent years in the study of the influences of environment and genetic factors on behavioural disorder has come from a wide range of disciplines. These studies have subsequently been focused through the foundation of the Society for the Study of Behavioural Phenotypes which forms the basis for assimilating new information and coordinating future research in this field. This timely volume from founder members of the society represents the culmination of the advances in the field to date. It presents a distillation of current thinking and reviews appropriate measurement schedules. Including research findings to date, explanation of concepts, new genetic scientific techniques and methodological issues, this work will be welcomed by those with an interest in behavioural disorder at every level.
