The psychology of B.F. Skinner

"In The Psychology of B. F. Skinner, William T. O'Donohue and Kyle E. Ferguson not only introduce the life of one of the most influential psychologists of the past century but also put that life into historical and philosophical context. In so doing they illuminate Skinner's contributions to psychology, his philosophy of science, his experimental research program, and the behavioral principles and applied aspects that emerged from it. They also rebut criticism of Skinner's work including radical behaviorism and discuss key developments others have derived from it."--BOOK JACKET.
