Some Issues Concerning the Control of Human Behavior

About this book

This classic debate between Skinner and Rogers took the form of three papers originally published in 1956. The papers were based on material presented by the authors in a symposium held at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association. The first paper is by Skinner, the second paper by Rogers and the third paper (a rebuttal of the second) was again by Skinner. This compelling debate not only offers a fascinating insight into the thinking of two of the most influential psychologists of the 20th Century but it also provides a wonderful historical snapshot of the theoretical and ideological battles going on within psychology at the time. Some Issues Concerning The Control of Human Behavior (Kindle edition) forms part of an initiative to make important, insightful and engaging psychology publications widely available.
