I have been talking (in and out of class) about personality development and,
particularly, Mahler's idea of separation-individuation which emphasizes the
child's growing sense of autonomy as someone
in-relation-to-yet-separate-from others. I bring in Erikson and others
here, but have always felt
Title: Re: Chronic Pain Addiction
I think this discussion fails to take into account a very real problem that seems especially
severe for older people: They're given prescriptions for potentially addicting medications
by physicians who are tired of being "bothered" by patients who complain of p

Steven,
It has been many years since I have looked at these equations and I am
somewhat uncertain of my answer (but I'm pretty sure I'm correct). The
equations you are using for heritability are looking at "additive genetic
variance" which is the average effect of a gene in the population; that i

A contradiction if I've ever heard one!
It would never pass an IRB as informed consent.

The quantitative approach to estimating heritability (using twins and
polygenetic traits such as intelligence) will make assumptions about
additivity. There are alot of genes for intelligence that act (we assume) like
coin tosses (heads = bright; tails = dull). Like coin flips, you get a normal
