What will it take to make behavioral genetics truly developmental? In my opinion, the purely statistical population view will have to be abandoned in favor of the study of individuals: An analysis of the bi-directional relations from gene action to the external environment over the life course, including the prenatal period. I critically examine the somewhat vexed concept of 'gene-environment interaction', a crucial first step in correctly understanding the relational view of causality at the organ ism-environment level of analysis. I conclude by presenting a highly detailed psychobiological model for analyzing behavioral development, with special attention to the genetic level of analysis. Copyright (C) 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel.
