Talk:Behaviour therapy/Archive 1

Did a bit of clean-up, mainly centered-on spacing & referencing problems - forgot to sign-in beforehand, though. This article still needs a lot more work. Please help! Feisty.gibbon (talk) 05:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)Feisty.gibbon

Comment: the writing in this article is terrible! Whoever wrote it--couldn't you find someone who knows how to write to revise the text? Or, I suggest reading any of B.F. Skinner's books. He not only had something to say, he knew how to communicate it in writing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by83.21.126.117 (talk) 08:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

internal mental states ?

Behaviorism, at least the kind that is often linked to BT, is not against internal mental states. I speak here specifically to SKinner's Radical Behaviorism. Methodological behaviorism did reject looking within, but it also relied on the classical conditioning/pavlovian model of behavior change. Skinner's position accepts thinking, emotions, 'the world within the skin', and so on. See rule governed behavior, or even Skinner's 1957 work Verbal Behavior for discussions of verbal behavior internal and external (the autoclitic process necessitates an internal listener who is modifying verbal behavior nearly instantaneously).
