Abstract
Abstract This chapter discusses the integration of research on genetic and environmental causes. It argues that finding genetic causes of mental disorders will also provide a key to finding nongenetic causes. An environmental cause would more likely be detected if researchers studied the individuals whose genetic makeup renders them vulnerable to its effects. The converse is also true. Researchers would more likely find a genetic cause if they could study the individuals who have the environmental exposure required for this genetic vulnerability to lead to a disease.
