What could have been an extroardinarly clever, engaging text is an inch-thick preaching of the merits of behavioralism, bashing Freudian theory as worthless. As a student of psychology, I have studied many many different fields and theories and though I would not consider myself an exclusive behavioralist, it is apparent that many of the tactics of behavioralism are valid, effective conditioning techniques. This book presents such techniques with repetition and monotony, pointless characters, and no plot. It is an inane textbook, conditioning the reader to unconditionally accept behavioralism as an authority, treating the reader as if he were a child.
