Understanding Behaviorism 3e P

Of course, the answer to that question is no. Granted, many laypeople in today's world are first hearing about "behaviorism" through their familiarity with applied behavior analysis (ABA) and autism treatment. There is, however, a great deal more to talk about than autism treatment, as Baum details for us. As a college professor who teaches in a graduate program in behavior analysis, this is the first book that I recommend to my students to give them a better idea of the "big picture" of the philosophy of behaviorism and the science of behavior analysis. Baum does a wonderful job describing the relevance of both the philosophy and the science to our world and those who "behave" in it. Understanding the contents of the book should help current behavior analysis "technicians" to become "scholars" in their discipline.
