Abstract: In 1917 John B. Watson commented upon an experimentally conditioned fear response in a manner which is intriguing, prophetic, and relevant for the discussion to follow. The Freudians, twenty years from now, unless their hypotheses change, when they come to analyze Albert's fear of a seal-skin coat—assuming that he comes to analysis at that age—will probably tease from him the recital of a dream which will show that Albert at three years of age attempted to play with the pubic hair of his mother and was scolded violently for it. (We are by no means denying that this might, in some other case condition it.) If the analyst has sufficiently prepared Albert to accept such a dream when found as an explanation of his avoiding tendencies, and if the analyst has the authority and personality to put it over, Albert may be fully convinced that the dream was a true revealer of the factors which brought about the fear (Watson and Raynor, 1920, p. 14).
