Behavioral Teratology - A Bibliography to the Study of Birth Defects of the Mind

This bibliography contains references to material in the field of behavioral teratology--a hybrid between psychology, with its emphasis on behavior, and teratology, which emphasizes factors interfering with normal development. Abel includes entries published prior to 1985 that deal with the effects of prenatal exposure to drugs, environmental pollutants, x-rays, and other detrimental influences on behavior after birth. The entries are arranged first by type of agent and then alphabetically by author. Each item is numbered consecutively and is referred to by number in the Subject Index. An introduction provides background material on the field.
