Originally published in 1985, Behaviour Analysis and Contemporary
Psychology presents chapters from the first European Meeting on the
Experimental Analysis of Behaviour. The book is divided into six parts
and provides a useful account of issues and work in behaviour analysis
by both European and North American contributors at the time. The first
part provides an introduction, with following parts looking at
behaviourist and ethological approaches; determinants of human operant
behaviour; fundamental research and behaviour modification; recent
developments in the behavioural analysis of drug effects; ending with an
overview of contemporary behaviourism.
