Reviews

The advent of the genomic era and recent progress in the fields of statistics and computation methodology are neatly balanced with the traditional cornerstones of psychiatric genetics, such as twin and adoption studies, in this impressive text on psychiatric genetics and genomics. American Journal of Psychiatry Vol 162, No 11 From reviews of the hardback: It is timely to see such an excellent textbook... Aimed at graduate level students, this book is complex enough to be thorough, but clear with enough background to be accessible... the coverage is comprehensive and the flow logical... The text is uniformly well written and achieves a successful integration. The Lancet A good introduction and reference book for professionals interested in psychiatric genetics such as psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and neuroscientists... the book you want to have on your bookshelf to look up material and obtain a complete and balanced picture of the field. Psychological Medicine

`This admirable collection provides us with a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of psychiatric genetics and is recommended reading for anyone active or interested in this field.' Genes, Brains and Behaviour
