Toth (Eds.), Rochester symposium on developmental psychopathology (Vol. 2): Internalizing and externalizing expressions of dysfunction (pp. 155-202). Hillsdale, NJ; Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.

The goal of this chapter is to show that the potential impact of quantitative genetics on developmental psychopathology is enormous. General themes relevant to the application of genetics to developmental psychopathology are discussed in order to guide the exploration of this largely uncharted territory.
