Among the foes of Freudian psychoanalysis, few are bitterer than psychologists of rival schools. A savagely outhitting example is Andrew Salter, Manhattan behaviorist and hypnotist, splenetic disciple of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov.

A biology professor got me interested in Pavlov." Skinner did graduate work in psychology at Harvard in 1928. In 1947 he was back as the William James Lecturer, and the next year he received his appointment...
