Why I am a Behaviourist

Abstract

I am besotted with behaviour! Virtually anything to do with the way people behave, its externalcauses and its externaleffects, has me hooked. I can think of few things more fascinating than unravelling the connections between external events and observable behaviour. Yet I find my enthusiasm is rarely shared by my colleagues in training or personnel. Too often they accuse me of being superficial, manipulative and inhuman. If all else fails they tell me behaviourism is just common sense!
