About this title

Synopsis

Discusses the genetic forces that shape our personalities, and identifies inborn inclinations such as adaptability, timetable of maturation, and susceptibility to environmental factors

Reviews

Psychoanalyst Peter Neubauer and his son, a free-lance writer, argue that the nature/nurture controversy in human behavioral development has too long favored the role of environment. They contend that newer research supports the conclusion that one's genes strongly influence personality and physiology. Our ability to respond and adapt to stress, for example, appears to have a strong genetic component. The authors do not totally dismiss the environmental influence, but view it and heredity as being interactive. This is not a rigorous survey of research (only two recent, major studies are cited), but the arguments are nevertheless enlightening and persuasive.
