Items related to Opening Skinner′s Box – Great Psychological...
Beginning with B. F. Skinner and the legend of a child raised in a box, Slater takes us from a deep empathy with Stanley Milgram's obedience subjects to a funny and disturbing re-creation of an experiment questioning the validity of psychiatric diagnosis. Previously described only in academic journals and textbooks, these often daring experiments have never before been narrated as stories, chock-full of plot, wit, personality, and theme.

Review:
Slater creates for the reader a sense of intimacy with scientists and their subjects.--Erik Strand
Worth reading for the provocative questions it asks and for the way it lingers over the fragile, human side of psychology.--Joy Press
I've been riveted by her witty explorations of everything from lying to Prozac.--David Sedaris
Astonishing stories full of quirky personalities, told with wit and warmth.
It is precisely [Slater's] intimate confessional approach that is able to reveal the poetry latent in the sterile laboratory...A powerful and even inspiring meditation on the strengths and weaknesses hidden in our nature.--Eric Wargo
