This fall will be teaching an interdisciplinary course that looks at the concepts of
freedom and non-conformity. While students will be doing library research on various
aspects of these topics, I would like to introduce them to these topics from a
psychological perspective.
I believe that Skinner views freedom in terms of environmental determinants that are
not aversive and that Rogers describes freedom in terms of a subjective experience of
self determination.
Can any of you offer suggestions of other prominent psychologists who have attempted
to describe freedom in psychological terms?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions I receive.
