[Stimulation for a "personal history of behavior modification" as well as further thoughts]

The intention of this article is not to make a contribution to the historical analysis of the complex structure of conditions which eventually led to the development of the many techniques of Behavior Modification. Due to the increasing interests -- especially recently -- for the real and true fathers, grand-fathers and great-grandfathers of Behavior Modification this article tries to provide a first concept of a "Personality-History of Behavior Modification". In other words; it is the very first attempt to take Eysenck's demand seriously: "Credits should be given where it is due." (Eysenck 1975 b, S. 72.).
