Major and exciting advances in psychiatric genetics werediscussed at a 3-day international workshop. Theinternationally renowned editors assembledan impressivelist of specialists, all of whom are leading in theirsubject. Reviews and short articles which stress specialproblems or new research results have been brought togetherin this book, also including intensive discussions of thedifferent topics. Much of the material covers theapplication of molecular genetics in major psychoses,Alzheimer's dementia or preclinical research. However, theproblems of diagnostic features or phenotypicalcharacterization broaden further the content of this volume,making it truly a collection of the art information.
