Summary:

"In this volume I have not attempted to include all the criticism that has been directed against behaviorism, or to refute the system in its various particulars. So much of this has already been done that it seemed sufficient merely to refer to these writings. The bibliography contains references to nearly all the articles and books that deal with special phases of behavioristic doctrine. To write a more or less exhaustive critique of behaviorism would require the publication of a voluminous work. It was rather my intention first to give a comprehensive survey of the whole behavioristic system, then to examine the validity of its basic principles, and finally to test its workability in practical life. My own position I have tried to make clear in the concluding part as well as in chapters VIII, XIII, and XIV"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
