From the Back Cover: "A much more effective work than Beyond Freedom and Dignity precisely because it takes more seriously the tradition (or the historical prejudices) of its opposition."
-- Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times<
"About Behaviorism is an opportunity to match wits with one of the great men of psychology and to participate in some of its great debates."
-- James B. Rule, Newsday
"The battle over Skinner's ideas is just beginning. It promises to be one of the most interesting contests of our generation."
-- Gail Boyer, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Both men spent time at Harvard. Though Freud could be said to be the most paradigmatic figure of modern psychology, Skinner could be said to be equally influential as one of the founders of behaviorism and a major figure in the establishment of psychology as an empirical science.
