Abstract
Despite the precarious vulnerability of genetic theories to partisan distortion and abuse, a report on the progress of genetics in relation to mental disorders merits introduction on a fairly optimistic keynote. It seems that in quest of a better understanding of human behaviour deviations we have finally arrived at the threshold of the age of biology as a focal discipline. There are many indications that in searching for adequate methods of biological analysis, one of the key positions of science is held by human genetics.Keywords
