The author describes how he learned the “inside” story of John B. Watson's early studies on sexual arousal, and how later discovery of the actual equipment Watson used confirmed what the author had previously heard from one of Watson's associates. The author then traces the history of the behavioral solution to the mind-body problem from Watson through Skinner to the cognitive behaviorists. The author concludes by offering his own behavioral solution to this problem, based in part on recent studies of hemispheric laterality.
