The repetition compulsion

"The difference between rats and people is that when a rat gets shocked at one end of a maze, he never goes there again."                              -- B.F. Skinner (1959)

Why is it that I'm only just discovering the genius of psychoanalysis now? Not that Skinner exactly hung out with the psychoanalysis crowd. Who, by the way, would have been the way cooler kids had psychology really been high school. Leather jackets, piercings, cigarettes etc. Which would make the behaviourists...what...the preppy kids? The ACT crowd would definitely be the sporty guys with the hottest girlfriends.

And the poor little EMDR class....sigh....such easy targets...
