Abstract

B.F. Skinner and Behaviorism in American Culture is one of a small but growing library of volumes that focus on the life and contributions of the eminent behavioral psychologist. During Skinner’s lifetime, these volumes included B.F. Skinner: The Man and His Ideas , Festschrift for B.F. Skinner , The Skinner Primer: Behind Freedom and Dignity , What Is B.F. Skinner Really Saying? , Skinner’s Philosophy , Skinner for the Classroom , a special issue of Behavioral and Brain Sciences , and B.F. Skinner: Consensus and Controversy . In 1977 John A. Weigel published a brief biography of Skinner, and Skinner himself published a three-volume autobiography between 1976 and 1983
