Modern Perspectives on B. F. Skinner and Contemporary Behaviorism (Hardcover)

A group of respected historians and authorities reassesses the role of B. F. Skinner and contemporary behaviorism in the history of 20-century psychology. This landmark collection provides an interesting mix of modern perspectives to clarify perceptions of the theories and approaches of Skinner and of other contemporary behaviorists. This reevaluation of the philosophical bases and development of behavior analysis offers new interpretations. This edited volume includes discussion and analyses of Skinner's work and features a section of integrative commentary on the current state of affairs in contemporary behavior analytic theory. An inductive approach is used, and general themes and details about Skinner and contemporary behaviorism appear and recur with variations in different chapters. Psychologists, historians, philosophers, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students will also find the work important for its up-to-date comprehensive bibliography of Skinner's published works and for its lengthy historiography of important studies dealing with Skinner and behaviorism. This volume is a companion to Modern Perspectives on John B. Watson and Classical Behaviorism edited by Todd and Morris and published by Greenwood Press in 1994.
