A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess is a controversial and intriguing novel about a violent, delinquent young man who is subjected to a radical conditioning procedure with frightening results. The 1963 book provides an image of a near future world that could be described as unique, humorous, dramatic and disturbing. In this podcast I interview Dr. Bobby Newman regarding his 1991 article on the Anthony Burgess fictional work, and how it has influenced the perception of behavior analysis.
Show Highlights:
-
An explanation of what Burgess was trying to convey with his writings and how his vision was shaped by a devout Catholic faith.
-
The question of free will becoming significant in a story like this. What is the behavior analytic view on the concept of free will?
-
Behavior analysis, instead of crushing freedom (as depicted in certain fictional stories) could be the pathway to liberate us from environmental contingencies that have trapped us.
-
Evidence for how behavior analytic techniques have helped reduce recidivism among juvenile delinquents.
-
How psychology and behavior analysis are portrayed in Clockwork.
-
How behavior analysis has portrayed itself to the public.
