Hi Bill
You have me blushing over here (and that means the whole body as you know
what I wear computing <VVBG>. I guess being in the academic field does have
its advantages at time. When I wrote to him, I relied on the professional
network.
I think I am going to try and get Lykken's book on antisocial personalities.
Lukken and Iacono are truly amazing--they are psychophysiologists and
clinical psychologists--what a combination. In addition, both are involved
in that huge twin study being carried on at the U of MN. Lykken is the PI
of the study. I like their attitude about the nature vrs. nurture
controversy. They term it "nature via nurture" I think that is how they
phrase it. I am thinking of trying to get in direct contact with them if I
can the next time I attend conferences, workshops or continuing education at
the U. I may get to spend a week there on campus attending a great course on
population, environment and ? (something else) this summer so that would be a
good opportunity I think if they are around. Will have to forgo the
immigration one they offer, darn, but Seattle sounds nicer.
