  • 摘要:Fraley’s (1994) comprehensive behavioral corrections proposal is discussed. While there are many thought-provoking and challenging ideas, this bold model is criticized in terms of its (1) central but arbitrary philosophical tenet that human worth is a function of a person’s behavioral repertoire, (2) deliberate use of mechanistic language and conceptualizations that at best are socially unpalatable and at worst echo historical instances of oppression, and (3) reliance on questionable technological assumptions. These problems could be avoided with a more sensitive portrayal of the human organism and a more modest representation of the potency of behavioral engineering, both of which would likely increase the social influence of the overall proposal by permitting its many merits to be appreciated.
