  • More about Schizophrenia and Genetics: The End of An Illusion


Schizophrenia is a psychiatric condition that has been extensively studied, but no confirmed causative genes have been found. Joseph's book explores the methodological shortcomings of schizophrenia genetic research and its implications for understanding the causes of human behavior.

Format: Hardback

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Schizophrenia, a psychiatric condition that has garnered significant attention in scientific research, has yet to yield conclusive evidence of gene associations. Over the past several decades, extensive molecular genetic studies have aimed to identify the specific genes responsible for this disorder. However, these efforts have yielded disappointing results, with no confirmed causative genes identified to date. In his comprehensive book, Joseph delves into the methodological limitations and challenges encountered in schizophrenia genetic research. His findings have profound implications not only for our understanding of the causes of schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions but also for our broader understanding of human behavior in general.

The book is organized into several chapters, each exploring different aspects of schizophrenia. These chapters cover various theoretical perspectives on the disorder, molecular genetic research related to schizophrenia, family, twin, and adoption studies, and non-medical prevention and intervention strategies. Prominent researchers and studies in the field are extensively discussed and critically evaluated throughout the book.

For psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioral scientists, and anyone with an interest in the origins of human behavior, this book serves as an indispensable resource. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of the current state of knowledge in schizophrenia genetics, shedding light on the limitations and potential future directions of this field. By addressing the methodological challenges and exploring the broader implications of genetic research, Joseph's book offers valuable insights into the complex nature of mental illness and human behavior.
