Opening Skinner's Box: Great Psychological Experiments of the Twentieth Century - Lauren Slater

Descriere Opening Skinner's Box: Great Psychological Experiments of the Twentieth Century - Lauren Slater

Slater documents the drama of extraordinary inquiries into human psychology, bringing to life stories with unforgettable protagonists. She delivers a witty and stunningly perceptive view of the progress of the science of the human mind in the last century. \n \nBeginning with B. F. Skinner and the legend of a child raised in a box, Slater takes us from a deep empathy with Stanley Milgram's obedience subjects to a funny and disturbing re-creation of an experiment questioning the validity of psychiatric diagnosis. Previously described only in academic journals and textbooks, these often daring experiments have never before been narrated as stories, chock-full of plot, wit, personality, and theme.\n
