Description
This influential book is the foundation of one of the most significant movements in twentieth-century psychology. In 1925, John B. Watson outlined two dominant approaches in American psychological thinking: introspective psychology and behaviorism. His work continues to shape the field today.
Watson's approach rejected traditional psychology's emphasis on feelings and introspection, seeking instead a more precise and scientific method. He argued that consciousness is not a useful hypothesis, and instead, the focus of human psychology should be on the behavior of the human being. This book presents a methodological approach to psychological problems that aims to establish psychology as a true natural science.
Published in 1925, this reissue of Watson's work remains a foundational text in the field of psychology. It provides a clear and concise overview of the principles of behaviorism and its implications for the study of human behavior.
