• By breaking down a phenomenon to its constituent parts it may be possible to understand the whole.
• This type of single mindedness has lead to some great discoveries in psychology as it has in the ‘natural’ sciences
• Is appropriate for certain levels of explanation – e.g. if your talking about living cells, it makes sense to use cellular biology and not psychology.
• Allows you to look in detail at components that effect behaviour. 
• Can be used to explain certain types of behaviours and disorders. 
• Scientific.
• Can be tested.

Too simplistic because they ignore the complexities of human behaviour and experience. Behaviour often has a number of different causes and to reduce the possible explanations to one level can only provide a limited understanding.

Does not consider other factors affecting behaviour. 

Inappropriate for psychology – methodological reductionism reducing complex behaviour to variables which can be manipulated and measured, the results from these types of experiments cannot be generalised as they lack ecological validity.

Holistic may be more appropriate for psychology– looks at the process as a whole.

Criticism: drug treatments for schizophrenia don'y always work so it must be more than the dopamine hypothesis.

The cause has been linked to excessive activity by dopamine

Anti-psychotic drugs can be used to reduce dopamine activity in the brain and symptoms of the disorder

As a result, the drug itself may be able to eradicate schizophrenia by controlling the levels of dopamine. So where does this leave the environmental factors of schizophrenia?
