Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
B.F. Skinner (19041990) is one of the most famous and influential figures in twentieth century psychology. A bestselling author, inventor, and social commentator, Skinner was both a renowned scientist and a public intellectual known for his controversial theories of human behavior. Beyond the Box is the first fulllength study of the ways in which Skinner's ideas left the laboratory to become part of the postwar public's everyday lives, and chronicles both the enthusiasm and caution with which this process was received.Using selected case studies, Alexandra Rutherford provides a fascinating account of Skinner and his acolytes' attempts to weave their technology of human behavior into the politically turbulent fabric of 1950s70s American life. To detail their innovative methods, Rutherford uses extensive archival materials and interviews to study the Skinnerians' creation of human behavior laboratories, management programs for juvenile delinquents, psychiatric wards, and prisons, as well as their influence on the selfhelp industry with popular books on how to quit smoking, lose weight, and be more assertive.A remarkable look at a postwar scientific and technological revolution, Beyond the Box is a rewarding study of how behavioral theories met reallife problems, and the ways in which Skinner and his followers continue to influence the present.
