description: A collection of 13 essays on the influence of psychologist Watson and his classical behaviorism movement begun in 1913. Watson's behaviorism gained wide popular acceptance as a new psychology to replace the older introspective psychology. After being forced to resign his position at Johns Hopkins University because of a divorce scandal, Watson used his theories of human behavior in the advertising industry. A companion volume on B.F. Skinner's behaviorism completes the set. Includes a bibliography of Watson's published works. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
