==Background==
 
Lilienfeld was born on December 23, 1960, to Ralph and Thelma Lilienfeld of New York, N.Y.(in the Borough of Queens).<ref name="birth">{{Cite web |url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G2-3481500210.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181114224025/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G2-3481500210.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2018-11-November 14, 2018 |title=Lilienfeld, Scott O. 1960– |work=[[Contemporary Authors Online]] |publisher=[[Gale (publisher)|Gale]] |dateyear=2006 |access-date= August 3, 2015}}</ref> Growing up, he was interested in [[paleontology]] and [[astronomy]], but decided to study psychology after a high school course, then later a few college courses, piqued his interest. He has stated: "Although my love for natural science never waned, I eventually fell in love with the mysteries of the internal world — the human mind — even more than those of the external world."<ref name="APS (October 2010)">{{cite journal|date=October 2010|title=The Champions of Psychological Science|url=http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/publications/observer/2010/october-10/scott-o-lilienfeld.html|journal=Observer|volume=23|issue=8|access-date=3 August 3, 2015}}</ref>
 
Lilienfeld studied psychology at [[Cornell University]] in Ithaca, New York, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1982.<ref name="Emory University">{{cite web|title=Scott O. Lilienfeld|url=http://www.psychology.emory.edu/clinical/lilienfeld/|website=Emory University|access-date=30 July 30, 2015}}</ref> As an undergraduate, he was influenced by the work of [[David T. Lykken]] on [[Psychopathy|psychopathic]] personality.<ref name="APS (October 2010)" /> Over time, he developed an interest in [[personality disorder]]s, [[dissociative disorder]]s, personality assessment, [[anxiety disorder]]s, psychiatric classification, [[pseudoscience]] in psychology, and evidence-based practices in [[clinical psychology]].<ref name="APS (October 2010)" /><ref name="Institute for Science in Medicine" /> Lilienfeld considersconsidered himself a generalist, saying "this breadth makes me a better researcher and thinker" with a broad perspective on the field of psychology.<ref name="APS (October 2010)" />
 
In 1986, he began a clinical internship at [[University of Pittsburgh Medical Center|Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic]] in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which he completed in 1987. He earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from the [[University of Minnesota]] in 1990.<ref name="Center for Inquiry">{{cite web|title=Scott Lilienfeld|url=http://www.centerforinquiry.net/speakers/lilienfeld_scott|website=Center for Inquiry|access-date=30 July 30, 2015}}</ref>
 
From 1990 to 1994, Lilienfeld was an assistant professor of psychology at [[University at Albany, SUNY|State University of New York]] in Albany, NY. From there, he moved to Emory University and served as associate professor until he earned full professorship in 2000.

Lilienfeld also wrote critically about [[mindfulness]] and its derivates [[mindfulness-based stress reduction]] (MBSR) and [[mindfulness-based cognitive therapy]] (MBCT), calling its evidence "decidedly mixed", although ultimately conceded that evidence supports their usefulness in treating [[major depressive disorder|depression]] and [[anxiety disorder]]s.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Lilienfeld|first1=Scott|last2=Arkowitz|first2=Hal|title=Is Mindfulness Good Medicine?|url=https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-mindfulness-good-medicine/|access-date=November 17, 2022|newspaper=Scientific American|date=September 1, 2014}}</ref>
During a [[James Randi Educational Foundation]] panel at the 2014 [[Amaz!ng Meeting]], Lilienfeld was asked if he thought [[rationality]] could be taught. He responded that rationality and [[critical thinking]] are not natural to the human species and to some degree it can be taught, but added that they are very domain specific and may not generalise to other areas; a person can be completely rational in one area and very irrational in others. He said "I see science in many ways as a set of safeguards against [[confirmation bias]]", and that, while the structure of general science and the scientific community work to reduce confirmation bias, individual scientists are not generally as susceptible to confirmation bias as other people are. Therefore, he said, "It's up to the scientific community ... to hold their feet to the fire and make sure that their confirmation bias does not get in the way of their corroborating their own hypotheses."<ref name="JREF Rationality Video 2014">{{cite web|title=Can Rationality be Taught?|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImE6-3GuvhE|website=JREF|publisher=JREF|access-date=August 1, 2015}}</ref>

Following Lilienfeld's death, in 2020, the [[Association for Science in Autism Treatment]] published a tribute issue of ''Science in Autism Treatment''<ref>{{cite web |last1=Celiberti |first1=David |title=Celebrating the Diverse Contributions of Dr. Scott Lilienfeld |url=https://asatonline.org/research-treatment/interviews/tributes-to-dr-scott-lilienfeld/?fbclid=IwAR0fWWVnyn9eUh_lNIfrSmvHDdQswASEB2orFqgeXCSll6Fxkavlw_Eobek |website=Association for Science in Autism Treatment |publisher=ASAT |access-date=September 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210906125713/https://asatonline.org/research-treatment/interviews/tributes-to-dr-scott-lilienfeld/ |archive-date=September 6, 2021}}</ref> and invited colleagues to reflect on Lilienfeld's legacy. Psychotherapist [[Donald Meichenbaum]] remembered his scholarship and critical-mindedness and his wise insistence on healthy professional self-doubt and self-criticism. From the skeptical community, behavioral scientist [[Stuart Vyse]] pointed out that Lilienfeld, a fellow of the [[Committee for Skeptical Inquiry]], "questioned and poked in all directions looking for the weaknesses of logic or evidence in any belief, while at the same time exhibiting unfailing respect for the people who might hold that belief." Shauna Bowes, a doctoral student at [[Emory University]], emphasized the direct applicability of Lilienfeld's research to individuals' lives and remembered him as a passionate and dedicated teacher.
