B F Skinner on Counselling

Synopsis

Dr B F Skinner discusses counselling-related issues with Dr M J Whitely: why a counsellor cannot help a client by focusing only on the clint’s feelings, the counsellor’s role as an ‘environmental engineer’, the importance of the relationship between the counsellor and the client, where the responsibilities lie for choosing values in counselling, what the counsellor can do to help establish a system which operates on positive reinforcers rather than aversion control, and the role of moral struggle and personal responsibility in behaviour change.
