Psychology of the Human Genome: Decoding Identity, Emotion, and Mental Health in the Age of Genetics

What if your DNA could tell a story—not just about your biology, but about your mind, your emotions, your identity?
Psychology of the Human Genome is a groundbreaking exploration of the intersection between genetics and psychology, offering a new framework for understanding how genes influence behavior, personality, and mental health—without reducing humanity to a code. From depression to resilience, from trauma to moral reasoning, this book reveals how our genetic blueprint interacts with our environment, culture, and choices to shape the people we become.
Written for psychologists, students, clinicians, and curious minds alike, this book combines scientific rigor with engaging storytelling. It addresses foundational questions—What is behavioral genetics? How does epigenetics link experience to gene expression? Can we ethically use genetic information in therapy or education?—while also offering insight into complex topics like neurodivergence, early diagnosis, personalized therapies, and the cultural meaning of identity in a genomic age.
With reflections inspired by films like Gattaca and real-world clinical cases, Psychology of the Human Genome goes beyond the lab to explore what makes us human—inviting readers to rethink the relationship between brain, body, society, and soul.
If you believe psychology must evolve with science—but never lose sight of ethics, complexity, or dignity—this book is for you.
