History of Behavior Online
Behavior Online first launched in 1995 as the premier meeting place for behavioral professionals, featuring a set of interactive discussion forums. Gilbert Levin, Ph.D. envisioned an online home where thought-leaders and leading experts in their respective field could come together to discuss, question and help further their schools of thought, practice, and techniques. He gathered together an impressive list of luminaries, who led discussions in their specific topic areas for years on the site.

NATHANSON: For some years I had been occupied with the problem of what is now called “interaffectivity,” the way each...
