This book is the definitive biography of the most influential American psychologist of his generation. Drawing upon a vast store of hitherto unpublished correspondence, interviews, and exhaustive research in more than 30 archival collections, Mechanical Man is the most authoritative full-length biography of Watson to be published to date. This carefully documented study provides a degree of accuracy unattained in previous accounts of Watson's life and work. Moreover, it places the development of behaviorism and Watson's career within the context of American social and cultural history.

reviewed Mechanical Man on November 28, 2016 Mechanical Man
James Tracy handed this book to me after a fun night of drinking beer at a bar near his house after I expressed my desire to learn about the radical doctors that came before me. He couldn't have handed me a better book.
This book is the account of a radical doctor who received their medical education in the midst of the Freedom Rides and rise of the Black Panthers and Young Lords. Mullen provides a great analysis and critique of medical school education and the medical establishment in NYC during the late 1960s and 1970s. He also provides an account of the kinds of organizing efforts he was a part of during school and during his residency in the Bronx.
The best thing this book offers is an account and analysis of what radical doctors during this period of time tried to do to make change, from their best (like siding with the Young Lords during their takeover of Lincoln Hospital) to their worst (like continuing the medical hierarchy and disrespecting nurses and taking them for granted). This is an important book for radicals going into establishment medicine--we are carrying on a legacy that we have so much to learn from!
