--- Quote ---For example, just after Elan opened in 1971 Davidson did an interview for U.S. News And World Report.  He said: "Therapeutic communities largely are run by ex-addicts who have become extremely sanctimonious, like all converted heathen. So the communities frequently are set up in some ways reminiscent  of concentration camps. They shave their patients heads, make them wear diapers, hang degrading signs on them, things like that. In our therapeutic community we do not do this. Our approach is to build self-esteem, and regard for others. We treat one another like responsible human beings. Our residents respond in fashion, and we have no trouble whatever with people leaving."

He is certainly someone who figured prominently in Matthew Israel's "philosophy."

How prominently did he figure in Gerald Davidson's?

Fwiw, Skinner was one of those research scientists who was the recipient of CIA grants. I've not researched this much at all. I've no idea of how much or how little, or even whether he was aware of their source. Some scientists were kept in ignorance.

I'd like to know where to start looking for this

At the very least this thread is intriguing as hell. To us.

The rest of the world knows this industry exists. They're waiting for someone to write it

I have three proposals and two chapters for all of them and I don't like any of them

I wish whoever writes this all the success in the world. I can't figure it out

You have access to his academic writings?  If not, see if you can get access to a university library that will have the journals.  If possible, see if you can locate his master's and doctor's thesis (you'll likely have more luck with his doctor's thesis.)  What you would then be looking at is whether he addresses any colleagues of BF Skinner with them.  A direct address is a gold nugget, but a close colleague of the man might be enough to explore.

I'm going to keep looking because I want to know, but as far as the story being told, I can't think of a way it would work
