Book Description
"[A] highly readable, at times entertaining, yet eminently scholarly book."
--History and Philosophy of Psychology Bulletin
"Mills presents an interesting, readable, and erudite summary of a large and unwieldy literature."
--Choice

Behaviorism has been the dominant force in the creation of modern American psychology. However, the unquestioned and unquestioning nature of this dominance has obfuscated the complexity of behaviorism.

Control serves as an antidote to this historical myopia, providing the most comprehensive history of behaviorism yet written. Mills successfully balances the investigation of individual theorists and their contributions with analysis of the structures of assumption which underlie all behaviorist psychology, and with behaviorism's role as both creator and creature of larger American intellectual patterns, practices, and values.
