Do we even care? This latter question is where the battle lines in our field appear to be drawn. Clinical researchers have been distressed for years about the low use of highly effective President Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, ABPP treatments for various disorders. The antagonism between the academic researchers and the President-elect applied practioners, the town-gown conflict, has been written about in many places. Certainly Irving B.

Gerald C. Davison, PhD Practioners complain about the perceived irrelevance of academic research to the needs of the Secretary (2005-2007) Linda K. Knauss, PhD, ABPP front-line clinician. From the view of researchers, practioners are unwilling. From the view of Treasurer (2006-2008) the practioners, researchers are arrogant. A prominent community psychiatrists once told me Robert K.

KAYE* I INTRODUCTION DNA identification databases have made it possible to apprehend the perpetrators of crimes ranging from auto theft and petty burglary1 to serial rapes and murders.2 Yet the laws establishing these databases have been the subject of persistent litigation and repeated criticism. One recurrent refrain plays on the fear of research into genes and behavior. The public has been told that There are no limits on who uses [the tissue sample]. Even if [a law enforcement agency] decides they’re only going to use it for identification purposes, there’s no restriction on their turning it over to somebody else who will use it to look for a crime gene . .3 Other advocacy groups and individuals have trumpeted the prospect of research seeking a “crime gene”4 or have pointed to the sordid history of biological Copyright © 2006 by D.H.

  • The Nature-Nurture Controversy: a Dialectical Essay
    VOLUME 6 1 Cognitive Critique THE NATURE-NURTURE CONTROVERSY: A DIALECTICAL ESSAY MATT MCGUE Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota Minneapolis, Minnesota Institute of Public Health University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark EMAIL: [email protected] IRVING I. GOTTESMAN Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota EMAIL: [email protected] Accepted September 29, 2012 KEYWORDS behavior genetics, endophenotype, environmentalist, epigenetics, eugenics, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), hereditarian, heritability, monozygotic and dizygotic twins, systems approach ABSTRACT For millennia, scholars, philosophers and poets have speculated on the origins of individual differences in behavior, and especially the extent to which these differences owe to inborn natural factors (nature) versus life circumstances (nurture). The modern form of the nature-nurture debate took shape in the late 19th century when, based on his empirical studies, Sir Francis Galton concluded that 2 THE NATURE - NURTURE CONTROVERSY nature prevails enormously over nurture. However, Galton’s inter- est in eugenics undermined early research into the genetic origins of behavior, which did not re-emerge until the latter half of the 20th century when behavioral geneticists started to publish their findings from twin and adoption studies. Current consensus is that the nature versus nurture debate represents a false dichotomy, and that to prog- ress beyond this fallacy will require the investigation of how both genetic and environmental factors combine to affect the biological systems that underlie behavioral phenotypes. As a word by itself, nature is simply a proxy for the terms ge- netics or heredity. Nurture by itself is simply a proxy for the terms environment or experience, broadly construed.
