The historical roots of behavior therapy. 1989

P Pichot
University of Paris Medical School, France.

This paper reviews lines of thought that are historically relevant to the emergence of behavior therapy. First consideration is given to animal magnetism, and the reaction against it. Then the influence of German psychiatry is surveyed, followed by various views of disorders of the nervous system. These in different ways affected the Freudian mode of thinking and also Pavlovian theory, and more indirectly experimental psychology.
