THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE" AND "What used to be" prior to "BS".

 Behavioral Psychology , or Behavioral Science began in the late 1930's, more or less.

A primary contributor was B.F. Skinner, a quote of whom is in the  box:

In this quote, Evans quotes Skinner as making the following comment:   "but the notion that somehow or other the child of our past is still contained within us is a form of animism which serves no useful purpose in explaining present behavior."

Skinner is alluding to the concept that the MIND of Man stores trauma from early childhood. This is not a concept, it is a fact and is evidenced in Proper Gestalt Psychotherapy.

 

But "BSandBP" (my label for behavioral science) knows nothing about the MIND of Man, and thus ignores the MIND entirely.

The MIND of each person has repressed within it [and thus hidden from the brain and the physical senses of Man] a number of traumatic events of childhood.  And these are "used" by one's MIND when and if it needs to cause a person to engage in some bit of Fate Karma that is part of that person's Script for this lifetime? 

Both Freud and Perls were attempting to pursue a study of the MIND of Man.  But they were largely ignored by those in psychology who were largely given over to "Intellectualism," or confined to the idea that the brain [and thinking] is all that is needed in mental health.

So, today the APA, or American Psychological Association, does its best to squash, belittle, or work against those naturally Enlightened in Psychology who are aware of and make use of their faculty of Intuition as they seek to work with the MIND of clients or patients.

Will this change in America?  Sadly it does not look promising.
