This book looks closely at the genetics research of ADHD, Autism, and
Bipolar disorder, plus some on schizophrenia too.
The books goes in depth and documents bias and misinformation
parroted by secondary sources reporting this research. The final
chapter reports the ongoing unproductive and frenzied search for
genes in psychiatry.
The genetics of psychiatric illness is another of science's "sacred
cows". It is another example of psuedoscience, passed off as
unquestioned fact on a trusting public, at the expense of
enviornmental causes.
I have been a Jay Joseph fan since his first book, The Gene
Illusion: Genetic Research in Psychiatry and Psychology under
the Microscope (2004).
