This paper examines behaviorism and the roles of educational and clinical psychology in association with behaviorism.

From the Paper:

" Psychology, in all of its branches, has its roots in theories that originated with Sigmund Freud. His work with the theories behind psychoanalysis opened the gates for other theorists, some of whom agreed with Freud and expanded on his work. Other theorists diverged from Freud's work, removing the psyche almost entirely from their own work. These theorists studied the field of behaviorism. Some notable behaviorists were John B. Watson, Edward L. Thorndike, and Burrhus Frederick (B.F.) Skinner. "
