Purpose, Meaning, and Action: Control Systems Theories in Sociology
This book marks an important milestone in the growing interest in Perceptual Control Theory among academic researchers -- in this case, seventeen leading sociologists. As one reviewer summarized, the research in this volume "exhibits a remarkable array and depth of empirical applications." The chapters in this volume point to new directions in sociological thinking and research grounded in an understanding of negative feedback. It is encouraging to see that PCT is gaining wider acceptance within disciplines concerned with human behavior and a better understanding of the world. (Palgrave Macmillan). edited by Kent A. McClelland and Thomas J. Fararo$90.00 detailsbuy |
The Method of Levels
This book is the first in-depth effort to explain an emerging therapeutic approach known as the Method of Levels which is based specifically on Perceptual Control Theory (PCT). In his foreward to the book, William T. Powers, the originator of PCT, explains: "The basic idea behind PCT is that organisms act to control a world presented to them as perceptions, rather than reacting to stimuli or planning their action or being conditioned or any of those other ideas that have been proposed since before I was born." The book includes two DVDs, one which includes introductions to PCT, tutorials, simulations, articles, and links; and another which includes actual MOL sessions.
