Behaviorism and Daily Life
UPDATE: Download the presentation below!
Dr. Klaus Kuch, retired Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, and member of COHA, will be our September 30 speaker. Dr. Kuch has practiced and taught behavior therapy for many years and has published in international medical journals and textbooks. He will treat us to slides and a talk on:
BEHAVIORISM AND DAILY LIFE.
Subtle cues, rewards and punishments shape many of our hopes and fears, often without awareness. We may have less control over ourselves than we might wish. Behaviorism, when applied to daily life, can show us how to study our behavior in this context, objectively and without speculation.
He will also demonstrate some of the theory and methods of behavioral assessment, concerning habits, fears and phobias. I expect this talk to be extremely interesting for all Humanists, so please plan to meet us at the Barrie Native Friendship Centre, 175 Bayfield St. Doors open at 6:30pm. Our usual pre-meeting dinner will be at the Swiss Chalet, 397 Bayfield, 5:00pm.
