Peter Harzem (January 5, 1930 – May 26, 2008) was a Turkish-American psychologist who specialised in the field of behavior analysis.
He was strongly influenced by Harry Hurwitz who had established an operant laboratory at Birkbeck College.
He moved to the United States in 1978 where he became Hudson Professor of Psychology at Auburn University, Alabama.
[3] In his later years he became interested in what he termed the discrediting of John B. Watson (Harzem, 1993; 2001).
Following on from Hurwitz, Harzen had a continuing interest in the nature of science (Harzem, 2007).
