Abstract
The emergence of interest in mediational cognitive factors in clinical psychology in the last 10 years or so — after a long period of strictly behavioural paradigms — has been called the “cognitive revolution” after Thomas Kuhn’s (1970) expose of scientific revolutions. As all revolutions, this one has been welcomed by many (e.g. Mahoney, 1974; Meichenbaum, 1977; Ellis, 1962) and reviled by others (Ledwidge, 1978; Rachlin, 1974; Wolpe, 1978; Greenspoon and Lamal, 1978) and some may have taken it too far. However, taking into consideration what the patient thinks and treating thoughts as important mediational factors between stimulus and response, which are amenable to change techniques, were advocated by Skinner himself (1963). “It is particularly important that a science of behaviour faces the problem of privacy . . . An adequate science of behaviour must consider events taking place within the skin of the organism . . . as part of behaviour itself.”
