“…Further, the evolutionary rules followed by proteins and cells for an adequate development of the nervous system, and the psychosocial experiences needed to alter the genetic expression appear to be becoming unveiled (Insel, 2005). Our understanding of the complex and rich nuances of the gene‐environment interface was expanded during the past decades by the pioneering research projects led by the Wynne/Tienari team and by David Reiss and his associates (McGuire, Neiderhiser, Reiss, Hetherington, & Plomin, 1994; O'Connor, Neiderhiser, Reiss, Hetherington, & Plomin, 1998; Pedersen et al, 1989; Plomin, Chipuer, & Neiderhiser, 1994; Reiss, 2000; Reiss, Cederblad, et al, 2001; Reiss, Pedersen, et al, 2001; Rende, Plomin, Reiss, & Hetherington, 1993; Tienari et al, 1987; Tienari, Sorri, & Lahti, 1985; Tienari et al, 1994, 2000, 2003, 2004), and by other researchers exploring the interface between family processes and genetics 6 . This line of research is consistent with Bronfenbrenner and Ceci's (1994) bioecological postulation that environmental variables, including parental styles, play an important role in determining whether biological factors lead to the development of psychiatric disorders.…”
