Quote from OP: "The course I am doing is heavily leached in behaviourism"
Could you clarify/confirm what you mean by this? Does it mean that behaviourist ideology (ie all behaviour is merely the product of operant conditioning) has been mainly filtered out or rejected by your course director in favour of a humanist perspective (ie behaviour is very much more than the product of operant conditioning, which is insufficient to explain the complexity of human behaviour and its diverse determinants).
I just don't understand what "leached in behaviourism" means.
I had the same thought.
I guessed that it was an error of English usage and "leeched" was used but something like "steeped" was intended.
I don't think there is any way that "leeched" makes sense here. I am thinking now of leeching fields and leeching lines in in septic systems and industrial applications, rather than leeches leeching blood.
