This chapter has covered a lot of ground; from the first stirrings of understanding about childhood psychiatric disorders to the possibility of using molecular genetics to identify gene–environment interactions that can generate psychiatric disorder. There are fuzzy boundaries between epidemiology and developmental psychopathology, life course epidemiology, genetic epidemiology, services research, and clinical psychiatry. It will be important to keep these boundaries pervious, to share a common language where possible, and to learn and use one another's methods.

Genetic Modelling

Bipolar disorder represents one of the most highly heritable group of common psychiatric disorders, but the complex genetic basis of these disorders has only recently begun to reveal itself. This chapter reviews the genetic epidemiology, molecular genetics, and genetic modelling studies of bipolar disorder. The chapter concludes with a glimpse of anticipated developments of relevance to clinical care and anticipates some future research directions.

What's in a model? Network models as tools instead of representations of what psychiatric disorders really are

AbstractNetwork models block reductionism about psychiatric disorders only if models are interpreted in a realist manner – that is, taken to represent “what psychiatric disorders really are.” A flexible and more instrumentalist view of models is needed to improve our understanding of the heterogeneity and multifactorial character of psychiatric disorders.
