I just finished reading another obituary for O. Ivar Lovaas, which ended with this astounding statement:
To the end of his career, Dr. Lovaas was adamant that applied behavior analysis was supremely useful in childhood interventions of all kinds. “If I had gotten Hitler here at U.C.L.A. at the age of 4 or 5,” he told Los Angeles magazine in 2004, “I could have raised him to be a nice person.” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/23/health/23lovaas.html I don't know whether this is a result of a stunning ego, underappreciation on my part, or maybe he was misquoted, like Freud in his statement about the Nazis.
