Strengths for The Behavioural and Biological would be that they’re both reductionist, scientifically valid and creditable, because they are able to produce scientific results from their controlled experiments. Benefits for The Biological is that it has shown to be useful to providing evidence of biological factors causing certain behaviours or illnesses.
