This book is an interpretation of the paradigm of behavioral psychology, presenting a systematic lecture on the theoretical foundations, methods, and applications of this field. The reader will learn what goals a researcher can set for themselves, and the goal of the research process is to describe the relationship between the organism and the environment, without referring to immeasurable processes. The criterion for success is the ability to predict events, which is a measure of the effectiveness of both the research process and practical interactions.

The presented texts introduce the reader to the issues in a clear and competent manner. A great advantage of this position is the fact that it was written by people who actually practice behavioral psychology. In the face of the flood of works in which the main element is writing secondhand about what others have written, this is an extremely important feature of this book. It is a reliable source of information for anyone who wants to delve into the secrets of behaviorism.

Behavioral psychology, a faithful continuator of positivism, offers a unique approach to the study of human behavior. This book is essential for both critics and supporters of behaviorism, providing a valuable tool for scientific and professional development.
