- Summary
- "Does the crooked gene give rise to the crooked thought? Satirical aphorisms apart, the revolution in molecular genetics has indeed given rise to a heady optimism that biology will soon explain all disturbances of mind and behaviour." "In this book, Julian Leff, a world leading psychiatrist, counters this reductionist stance. Instead he emphasizes what is known about the psychological, social and cultural factors underlying mental illness."--BOOK JACKET.
