Reflections on Behaviorism and Society. Chapter 7: Can We Profit from Our Discovery of Behavioral Science? Quote 15

“It is clear that the behavioral sciences have not yet fulfilled their promise . . . The fault lies, I am arguing, with the surviving mentalism. The sooner we abandon explanations of behavior in terms of feelings and states of mind the sooner we shall turn to the genetic and environmental conditions of which behavior is a function.” (pp. 94-95)
