Personality and Heredity: An introduction to Psychogenetics

Personality and Heredity: An introduction to Psychogenetics

Brian W. P. Wells
2/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Some of the most acrimonious and crucial scientific controversies of recent years have been concerned with the genetic transmission of human psychological characteristics, particularly in relation to sex differences, criminal and psychopathic behaviour, racial differences, intelligence and homosexuality.

In 'Personality and Heredity' Dr Brian Wells has provided a reliable and clear introduction to the relatively new science of psychogenetics. The wide range of material includes evidence in support of the view that aspects of normal intellectual and temperamental development are not only differentially influenced by genetic mechanisms, but so too are many psychotic, neurotic and personality disorders. The author discusses in detail the question of the social significance of inherited psychological traits and its implications for education and psychiatry, race and sex relations, eugenics and genetic engineering.

This book provides a fascinating guide to inherited characteristics for a wide range of readers concerned, scientifically, practically and intellectually with human behaviour and adjustment. It will be invaluable not only to psychologists, teachers and doctors, but also to biologists, anthropologists and ethologists, and indeed anyone interested in behavioural aspects of the 'sciences of man'.
