RIP Marsha Linehan. I was fortunate to attend grad school where she was on the faculty. DBT principles anchored my clinical training & approach to life: empiricism, behaviorism, validation, acceptance, distress tolerance, mindfulness. All the things. So many lives improved. What a legacy ❤️

Although looking it up Dobson claimed to hate behaviorism, but still I imagine it must've influenced the idea that children could be trained like animals.

Ironically, one of the things I love about behaviorism is how human and environmental it all is, how natural. I was sitting on the couch petting my dog and we were just reinforcing each other with our love. This was our stimuli, our 'consciousness', the smells, feelings, sounds, warmth of it all.

Thank you! I had not heard of this organization. I see the thinly diguised book banning from this post, but I'd like to also check out the behaviorism..could you expound or link? I've been fighting behaviorism for most of my adult life.

I feel like even in the old days when "spare the rod and spoil the child" was unquestioned, beating an infant who couldn't repent wouldn't have been considered normal? Feels like a perverse mix of behaviorism and reactionarism, although maybe I'm wrong and babies did get hit.

As someone whose heart and soul is in the existential/humanistic traditions, she converted me to the relevance of behaviorism via DBT (in an existential-humanistic way 😉).

Radical behaviorism is criticized from misunderstanding: it deals only with behavior, ignoring inner life. That's confusion with 'methodological behaviorism'—its biggest misunderstanding. If critics know that, are they disparaging it deliberately, or ignorant? I explain at work every time.

And there's lots of diverging paths away from behaviorism. e.g. contrast behavioral econ--which in the 80s-90s was primarily descriptive/focused on how behavior departed from econ theory--with the social cognition movement trying to show the emergent consequences of cognitive processes on behavior

And not limited to ABA opposition, but behaviorism in general. I think it probably gets into ancient notions of free will, which of course has religious implications. But even pushing that aside, accepting the science is all true, with the 4-term contingency,

B.F. Skinner: A Life
B.F. Skinner was a profoundly impactful figure in modern psychology. His work set the foundation for the field that now consists of tens of thousands of professionals around the world. Yet, we have discussed him little, and few people are familiar with many of the details of his life. We decided to spend our final suite discussing various aspects of Skinner. What's your favorite Skinner fact?
