John B. Watson is known as the 'Father of Behavioural Psychology', although it is B.F. Skinner who is generally attributed with that title for his work in the 1970s. Psychology was a very new science in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; Freud postulated about neuroses and ego in the unconscious while this new branch countered those theories completely, and more. Human beings, behavioural psychologists contended, were a product of ONLY being shaped by their reactions to outside f..more

Fascinating exploration of the life of Rosalie Rayner, an aspiring scientist who married behavioral psychologist John Watson and became Mrs. John Watson instead of following her own career.

Worth Getting in Bed For? Yes. Rosalie Rayner Watson comes to life through the pages of Romano-Lax’ s Behave. We see the character mature from an idealistic and entitled young woman to a harried young mother who realizes the choices for women who want it all, in the Twenties and thirties, are limited. At times, I simply forgot I was reading a book that wasn’t taking place right now as the story is still so relatable, right down to the male professor and/or executive and his power both in and out..more

What a different novel! I had to keep reminding myself much of this book came from the author's imagination even though based on real people and events. Very well researched and written! This is difficult for me to review for several reasons. 1) As one with a scientific background, I was appalled at John Watson's cavalier behavior regarding subjects; controls; parameters; data reproduction & manipulation and 2) His total self-indulgence and lack of empathy. As a human being, I found many oth..more

Very well written, but a disturbing account of experiments on infants.
I still don't fully understand what the goal of the experiments were and how poking, prodding and scaring babies proves anything besides the scientist's own inhumanity.

It starts out heavy in the science and the various experiments done on babies, and that's the interesting part.

I found this novel a page turner. Set in the 1920s and ‘30s, it is based on the relationship of Rosalie Rayner and the ‘father’ of radical behaviorism, American psychologist John Watson, and ‘told’ in 1st person by Rosalie. This ‘genre’ of popular novels about the wives of famous men is an increasingly popular one, and most that I have read, I have enjoyed. They are usually in first person (the wife) and often have in common the theme of the highly intelligent young woman who after marriage to t..more

After being stunned by the content of this story, even though I pretty much knew the underpinnings, hanging on and seeing it up close and personal from Rosalie's perspective was very hard. I kept reading, gradually realizing this was Rosalie's own story, and it was painful.

Behave is a disturbing novel centering on one of the pioneers of behavioral research, John Watson, and his second wife. It's easy to consider this a novel, rather than a novelized biography.

Set in the 1920’s-1930’s Andromeda Romano-Lax’s BEHAVE tells the imagined story of real life behavioral psychologist John Watson with a focus on his second wife, Rosalie Raynor, a fellow psychologist.

I really wanted to like this book, based on the life of John Watson's wife and research partner. But I just couldn't connect with the material or the person. I don't know if it was the writing style or it's just not what I'm in the mood for right now. I tried skipping ahead to get past her background story, but that didn't help - the book just didn't hold my interest. With so many wonderful books to read, I can't invest in this right now.

I won this book from a GoodReads Giveaway (Advance Uncopyedited Edition). I enjoyed the book overall, but found it a bit hard to get into at the beginning. The story is a glimpse into the life of Rosalie Rayner Watson's life. It is heartbreaking throughout the story watching her struggle to find herself as a woman, professional, and mother. I think many women will be able to relate to these struggles she faces over her lifetime.

From the author of The Spanish Bow comes a lush, harrowing novel based on the real life story of Rosalie Rayner Watson, one of the most controversial scientists--and mothers--of the 20th century 'The mother begins to destroy the child the moment it's born,' wrote the founder of behaviorist psychology, John B. Watson, whose 1928 parenting guide was revered as the child-rearing bible. For their dangerous and 'mawkish' impulses to kiss and hug their child, 'most mothers should be indicted for psychological murder.' Behave is the story of Rosalie Rayner, Watson's ambitious young wife and the mother of two of his children. In 1920, when she graduated from Vassar College, Rayner was ready to make her mark on the world. Intelligent, beautiful, and unflappable, she won a coveted research position at Johns Hopkins assisting the charismatic celebrity psychologist John B. Watson. Together, Watson and Rayner conducted controversial experiments on hundreds of babies to prove behaviorist principles. They also embarked on a scandalous affair that cost them both their jobs--and recast the sparkling young Rosalie Rayner, scientist and thinker, as Mrs. John Watson, wife and conflicted, maligned mother, just another 'woman behind a great man.' With Behave, Andromeda Romano-Lax offers a provocative fictional biography of Rosalie Rayner Watson, a woman whose work influenced generations of Americans, and whose legacy has been lost in the shadow of her husband's. In turns moving and horrifying, Behave is a richly nuanced and disturbing novel about science, progress, love, marriage, motherhood, and what all those things cost a passionate, promising young woman.
