About This Book

In Opening Skinner’s Box, Lauren Slater explores ten groundbreaking psychological experiments that shaped twentieth-century thought. Beginning with B.F. Skinner’s behaviorism and the myth of a child raised in a box, she narrates classic studies—like Milgram’s obedience shocks and Rosenhan’s psychiatric diagnosis test—with wit and story-telling. Slater brings personality and context to scientific inquiry, challenging readers to rethink free will, conformity, and morality.
