Abstract
Now that you are forewarned by Paivio, let me convey in this chapter how one cognitive-behavior therapist has tried to tame the seductress.
Skinner warned us against the diversionary effects of fascination with the inner life. I agree that the possibility is omnipresent. Mentalistic ideas are so seductive that one is in danger of being led by them down the garden path of introspection and mysticism forever. For that reason, perhaps only a tough-minded behaviorist can afford to entertain the seductress.
—Allan Paivio (1975)
