This was a good introduction to the philosophy of Interbehaviorism and Interbehavioral Psychology, although it left me wanting more. For more in depth look, there are great articles written for the Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science (JCBS) by the same authors.
I like the distinctions made between the analysis of Skinner and Kantor. It was informative, but left me with more questions. I would have liked to see how Interbehaviorism fits within or comports with Functional and Descriptive Contextualism and Radical Behaviorism.
