That Wild Streak? Maybe It Runs in the Family - New York Times

"As genetics comes to rival childhood experience s the favored lens through which to interpret behavior seen as deviant, parents who blamed themselves for their children's disorders are also finding some relief."


Really good discussion on the implications of genetic research on people's perceptions of their identity. I have always been fascinated by this area of science and whether it would lead to a more progressive view of humanity or start seeing humans as just a sum of their parts.
