About the Author
Richard H. Pfau earned a Ph.D. in science education and a B.A. with honors in psychology. He has served as a lecturer, professor, and consultant in International Management and International Education, spending several years in Africa and Asia. Dissatisfied with psychology's lack of appreciation of insights from the hard sciences, he spent many years in work and research aimed at understanding behavior around the world and developing a more up-to-date, scientific explanation of human behavior than that which dominates psychology today.
From the Back Cover
"Richard Pfau has written an engaging, accurate book on a complex subject. To introduce the power of Perceptual Control Theory to a general readership in a way that may help in their everyday lives is no easy feat, but this book does just that. Highly recommended." - Martin Taylor, Ph.D., P.Eng., Senior Experimental Psychologist (Retd.), Defense Research Canada
"Wow! I am impressed with this book! It is comprehensive, neatly structured, and provides a great scientific context for introducing Perceptual Control Theory to the layperson. The explanation builds up gradually over the chapters. Fantastic." - Warren Mansell, DPhil, DClinPsy, CPsychol, Reader in Psychology, University of Manchester, U.K.
