Kay's History Personality: BF Skinner ~ Verbal Behavior, 1973…

I was told my grandfather did do this to his children ~ “spare the rod, spoil the child” – more verbal behavior. He was a poor farmer so there was no chance of the children being spoiled.
I also found similar results from the film Please Murder Me - “she ought to be killed”, I am sure came from my mother, and other dialogue and behavior associated with the film The Woman in Green. I have not been doing the things I have been doing because I am conscious of what I have been doing but because I was acting out the content of the mind. I have only become conscious of it in the last several years, which grew out of my discovery of The Woman in Green. Music has also affected me this way, Dang Me and Me and Bobby McGee are just a few…
