Developmental psychobiology is an interdisciplinary field between developmental psychology and biological psychology, covering the study of all phases of organismic ontogeny, employing and integrating both biological and psychological concepts and methods (cf. Michel & Moore, 1995). Developmental psychobiologists tend to be systems<I> thinkers, avoiding the reification of artificial dichotomies (e.g., "nature" vs. "nurture") and the arguments they engender. Developmental psychobiologists have also been historically highly concerned with the interrelation between ontogeny and phylogeny (or individual development and evolutionary processes; see, e.g., Gottlieb, 1991).
