Table of ContentsReviewsInterbehaviorism by Linda Hayes and Mitch Fryling is not only an introductory text to the logic and categories of interbehaviorism as formulated by J.R. Kantor almost a century ago. It is also a comprehensive conceptual analysis of the nature of psychological theory, and its relationship with research, application, and interpretation. The book focuses mainly on comparing interbehavioral concepts with those of traditional dualistic theories and with operant psychology analyses. Elegant examples are provided on varied topics related to human behavior, such as language, memory, feelings, and development, among others. This is a very needed text in the field in order to provide conceptual awareness not only to newcomers and students, but also to experienced researchers and teachers. --Emilio Ribes-Inesta, PhD, researcher at the University of Veracruz at Xalapa (Mexico), devoted to theoretical and experimental analysis of psychological behavior from the standpoint of field theory--Emilio Ribes-Inesta, PhD Although I didn't realize it, I've been waiting for this book for most of my academic career. And having read it, I now find that I am, philosophically, more of a Kantorian than a Skinnerian. But this work is also critically important for those outside of behaviorism, and indeed academic psychology writ large. Anyone with an interest in science and/or philosophy should study this wonderfully crafted, scholarly, and erudite text. --Dermot Barnes-Holmes, professor of psychology at Ulster University, and fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis International and the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science--Dermot Barnes-Holmes Hayes and Fryling offer a valuable contribution to the understanding of J. R. Kantor's philosophy and its relevance to the investigation, application, and interpretation of behavioral phenomena. Interbehaviorism brings a comprehensive perspective of the complexity involved in systems where behavior is embedded. It adds to Skinner's inductive analysis of behavior as a function of the environment. This book should be required reading for students of behavior analysis. --Maria E. Malott, PhD, CEO of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, who publishes on analyses of complex cultural phenomena from a behavioral science perspective--Maria E. Malott, PhD Hayes and Fryling provide an extended overview of interbehavioral psychology and its foundational contribution to the science of behavior. Their discussion of interdisciplinary science offers a timely context for our examination of the current and future practices in behavior science. Moreover, their outstanding review of the interbehavioral concepts and implicit responding highlight implications of this approach for research and practice. Important read for academicians, researchers, and practitioners in behavior science. --Ramona A. Houmanfar, PhD, professor of psychology and director of the behavior analysis program at the University of Nevada, Reno; author of over eighty articles; and coeditor of three books--Ramona A. Houmanfar, PhD This book clarifies Kantor's comprehensive philosophy of a science of behavior/environment relations. Pragmatically, understanding the interrelations of the operant and history of instruction of development, setting events, and phylogeny is simply fundamental to successful applied work, not unlike Israel Goldiamond's clinical systems analyses. Current exciting work in the basic and applied/basic science is doing that. This book is timely, and a necessary text for courses on 'concepts and principles of behavior.' --R. Douglas Greer, PhD, CABAS SBA, SRS, professor of psychology and education at Columbia University Teachers College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences--R. Douglas Greer, PhD, CABAS SBA, SRS This book is the clearest primer of the interbehavioral position ever written. While interbehaviorism has been a recognizable strand within behavioral psychology for the last century, many find J. R. Kantor hard to read and to understand. In the modern day, field theoretical concepts and the analytic tools needed to measure and study them are gaining traction. Written by two of the foremost living interbehavioral scholars, for students and others unfamiliar with Kantor's effort at system building, there is no better place to begin. --Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Nevada Foundation Professor of psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno--Steven C. Hayes, PhD Author InformationLinda J.
