Review
"A much more effective work than Beyond Freedom and Dignity precisely because it takes more seriously the tradition (or the historical prejudices) of its opposition."
-- Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times "About Behaviorism is an opportunity to match wits with one of the great men of psychology and to participate in some of its great debates." -- James B. Rule, Newsday"The battle over Skinner's ideas is just beginning. It promises to be one of the most interesting contests of our generation." -- Gail Boyer, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
About the Author
B.F. Skinner presented a formulation of operant behavior and a method for its investigation that are basic to the analysis of behavior now practiced in hundreds of laboratories throughout the world. For this work, Dr. Skinner was given teh National Medal of Science by President Lyndon Johnson and the Gold Medal of the American Psychological Foundation. Many practical applications of the method have been made in other sciences, such as physciology and psycho-pharmacology. The principles of operant conditioning led to programmed instruction and the modern conception of teaching machines, for which Dr. Skinner received many awards from educational organizations. He was also responsible for the first research in what has come to be called behavior therapy.

A wonderful association, inscribed "Ed Wilson kindred spirit," providing an affectionate snippet of the relationship between these two major figures in the history of the natural sciences. Both men spent time at Harvard. Though Freud could be said to be the most paradigmatic figure of modern psychology, Skinner could be said to be equally influential as one of the founders of behaviorism and a major figure in the establishment of psychology as an empirical science. Signed and inscribed by the author, B. F. Skinner, to Pulitzer-winning naturalist Edward (Ed) Wilson. 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 256 pages. Seller Inventory # 17399
