Psychopathology in the Genome and Neuroscience Era

The fascinating Psychopathology in the Genome and Neuroscience Era brings together selected topics in psychiatric genetics, epidemiology and prevention, and neuroscience and education, integrating this information across the fields of genetics, epidemiology, and neuroscience to arrive at an understanding of where recent advances in genetics and neuroscience are likely to influence psychopathology research and education in the near future. Chapters in this exciting compilation are based on individual talks by 20 international experts at the conceptual forefront of their respective fields given at the March 2003 American Psychopathological Association annual meeting. Organized into four main sections?the future of psychiatric genetics, diagnosis and prevention of psychiatric disorders, neurobiology and psychiatric disorders, and the future of psychiatric education?Psychopathology in the Genome and Neuroscience Era focuses on a broad range of topics, among them, understanding both the influence of genetics on the diagnosis and prevention of psychiatric disorders and the role of neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration in psychopathological processes.
