Any idea where Mary McCarthy mocks behavioral psychology? As in, Siegel’s “Once upon a time, intellectuals like Dwight Macdonald, Mary McCarthy, Norman Mailer et al. mocked this kind of dehumanizing behavioral psychology. Writers like Pynchon wrote whole novels portraying its social terrors. Now, ludicrously disgused as an intellectual and a literary figure, Gladwell is making shallow behaviorist nostrums a legitimate part of popular culture.” In fiction or non-fiction?

Wow. That was caustic, and as someone notes in the blog’s comments, not a little unhinged.Thanks for keeping me informed, Em!
