Emotions come and go, people suffer from ideas. Ideas of being subject to suffering, of not fulfilling an ideal, of being persecuted, unwanted, of having caused pain to others or themselves, of life being finite, of happiness passing them by, etc, etc etc. Each of these is a CONSCIOUS IDEA (albeit at times vaguely understood, clumsily expressed, etc, etc.).
He's conflated "mind" with emotion and as such misrepresented Skinner's ideas (and "mind" as a concept in general). Though I would support, wholeheartedly, his condemnation of Skinner's denial of emotion.
56:00 Reframing is important, yes. A great therapeutic tool! For example, "I was molested by my uncle when I was 6 and I became a crack whore -- but at least he didn't molest anyone else in my family!"
13:40 This is idiotic. Circular reasoning: self-reported complaints, parsed through questionnaires ALREADY IMPLYING SYMPTOMS show high levels of complaints aligning with symptom structure imbedded into the questionnaire. Well, woopty doo. That's scientists sciencing at the highest level.
Thank you for the lecture. I am in the process of applying to Bangor University and I would be thrilled to be taught by Professor Turnbull!

Gosh, I love this stuff.... I think i'll definitely do a post grad in cognitive neuroscience
Superb lecture!
Great info.
