Abstract
There has been no historically stable consensus about the relationship betw een psychological and biological concepts and data. A naively reductionist view of this relationship is prevalent in psychology, medicine, and basic a nd clinical neuroscience. This view undermines the ability of psychology an d related sciences to achieve their individual and combined potential. A no ndualistic, nonreductionist, noninteractive perspective is recommended, wit h psychological and biological concepts both having central, distinct roles .
