Summary
Genetic influences on personality disorder have typically been understood as a risk factor that is activated when exposed to a specific environmental influence. Given the failure to find specific genes associated with the development of personality disorder despite the high heritability of its measures the authors suggest an alternative hypothesis: the biological basis of personality as reflected in the genes is not a liability but instead a protective factor against the vagaries of the environment.
