What did Knight Dunlap think of William McDougall?

Answer 1

When giving a talk at the University of Oregon in 1938, he reported he had just visited Dr. McDougall at his Duke laboratory, and confirmed that he was in poor health and likely to die. He then said "the sooner he died, the better it would be for psychology."

Dunlap was highly critical of McDougall's work in parapsychology, as well as his approach to behaviorism that emphasized 'purposive' behavior (as opposed to a purely mechanistic organization) and the role of instincts.
