Recent advances in non-invasive sampling techniques have led to an increase in the study of hormones and behaviour. Behaviour is complex but can be explained to a large degree by interactions between various psychological and physiological components, such as the interplay between hormonal and psychological systems. This new textbook from Nick Neave offers a detailed introduction to the fascinating science of behavioural endocrinology from a psychological perspective, examining the relationships between hormones and behaviour in both humans and animals. Neave explains the endocrine system and the ways in which hormones can influence brain structure and function, and presents a series of examples to demonstrate how hormones can influence specific behaviours, including sexual determination and differentiation, neurological differentiation, parental behaviours, aggressive behaviours and cognition. This introductory textbook will appeal to second and third year social science undergraduate students in psychology and biomedicine.

J. R. Kantor (1888-1984) did not achieve the prominence of his contemporaries, such as John B. Watson and B. F. Skinner. However, he established the most naturalistic and conceptually systematic psychology since Aristotle. Today, his interbehavioral psychology is consistent with converging movements in the naturalization of the behavioral, developmental, social, and cognitive sciences. Kantor, his interbehavioral psychology, and these movements are the focus of this text. The text comprises two main sections. The first, Interbehavioral Foundations, consists of:
Paul T. Mountjoy and Donna M. Cone, A Biographical Sketch of Jacob Robert Kantor
Debra W. Fredericks, The Evolution of Scientific Psychology
Michael C. Clayton, Linda J. Hayes, and Mark A. Swain, The Nature and Value of Scientific System Building: The Case of Interbehaviorism
Noel W. Smith, The Interbehavioral Field
Noel W. Smith, Interbehavioral Research The second section, Converging Movements, consists of:
Dennis J. Delprato, Converging Movements in Psychology
Robert Lickliter, Developmental Systems and Psychological Science
Alan Costall, Cognitivism and the Schema of “Perception-and-Cognition”
Theodore R. Sarbin and Ralph M. Carney, The Narrative Turn in Social Psychology
Steven R. Brown, Q Methodology and Naturalistic Subjectivity
Edward K. Morris, Behavior Analysis In addition, scientists and scholars knowledgeable about interbehavioral psychology provide commentary on the latter section. An appendix, by Noel W. Smith, offers a bibliography of Kantor’s many publications.
