This book presents and discusses seven contemporary theoretical
approaches to behavior analysis that build upon the foundations
laid by B.F. Skinner's radical behaviorism and renew its legacy.
These contemporary approaches show that behaviorism is not a
monolithic or static intellectual tradition, but a dynamic
movement, which changes and adapts in face of new questions,
issues, and perspectives. The death of behaviorism has been
proclaimed since its early days - a "premature" assessment, to say
the least - but this volume shows that behaviorism is alive and
kicking, even thirty years after its main proponent passed away.
This volume contains seven sections, each one dedicated to a
particular variation of contemporary behaviorism: Howard Rachlin's
teleological behaviorism, William Baum's molar behaviorism and
multiscale behavior analysis, John Staddon's theoretical
behaviorism, John Donahoe's biological behaviorism, Gordon Foxall's
intentional behaviorism, Steven Hayes' contextual behaviorism or
contextual behavioral science, and Emilio Ribes-Inesta's
field-theory behaviorism. Each section contains three chapters: the
first one written by the original proponent of each of these forms
of behaviorism, the second one written by a commentator, and the
third one written by the proponent, replying to the commentator.
Contemporary Behaviorisms in Debate will be a valuable tool to
behavior analysts and psychologists in general by providing an
introduction to contemporary forms of behaviorism and promoting
debates about the main philosophical issues faced by the field of
behavior analysis today- issues that can directly influence future
epistemological variations in the selection process of
"behaviorisms." By doing so the book is directed not only to the
present, but, more importantly, toward the future of the field.
