Martin Sixsmith explores the development of an alternative to the Freudian way of thinking

How alternatives developed to Freudian thinking - 'behaviourism' via Pavlov and Skinner. With Martin Sixsmith. From April 2014.

Starting with the 'conditioned reflex' that the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov famously identified while studying dogs, Martin explores the development of a significant alternative to the Freudian way of thinking, 'behaviourism' - including recordings of the controversial American psychologist BF Skinner and an interview with his daughter Deborah, who as a child was the subject of her father's close scientific observations.
