AB -  The explosion of scientific knowledge and technology in the middle third of this century, and the effects of this explosion on the human condition, have posed a number of challenges for the behavioral sciences that most agree are yet to be met. The overriding challenge is, of course, the prevention of nuclear holocaust, but such problems as crime and delinquency, drug addiction, senseless violence, refractive learning problems, destructive prejudice, functional psychosis and the like follow close behind. Practically all behavioral scientists agree that none of these problems can be solved within the framework of any single discipline. Most espouse a putting together of heads in the so‐called “interdisciplinary approach.” The notion is not new, of course. The “interdisciplinary team” has been around for some time. Some new notions have emanated from this head‐banging, but there have been few startling revelations in the last decade or so. However, a relatively small but growing group of behavioral scientists, most of whom have spent time in arenas in which the “interdisciplinary approach” is being used, have taken the seemingly radical position that the knowledge of the traditional disciplines as they now exist is relatively useless in the effort to find answers
