Strength ?
strong evidence baaed
family studies such as gottesman
adoption studies such as Tienari
shows that some people are more vulnerable to schizophrenia as a result of their genetic makeup
Limitations ?
environmental factor also increases risk
biological risk factors include birth complications
psychological risk factors e.g childhood trauma
teinari (1999)
means genetic factors alone cannot provide a complete explanation for schizophrenia
Any real life applications ?
genetic counselling
risk estimate provided by genetic counselling is just an average figure
not reflect probability of a particular child going on to develop schizophrenia because they will also experience a particular environment
