“…Although many academics may consider Skinner “history” this view may be altered when comparisons show striking similarities between Skinner's writings and topics that are of interest to many psychologists today. For example, Skinnerian behaviorism shares important similarities with positive psychology (Adams, 2012), current psychological research (Goddard, 2012), and critical psychiatry/psychology (Goddard, 2014), suggesting that Skinnerian behaviorism may be reintegrated with mainstream psychology (Overskeid, 2008).
