Selected papers of William T. Powers: 22 articles and papers published here for the first time. This second in the Living Control Systems series underscores the potential of control theory to revolutionize the life sciences, in particular psychology... where, indeed, the theory found its most responsive audience. Powers makes the case for testable models in the tradition of scientific integrity, as the means for developing a genuine science of living control systems. Also included, selected published works on Living Control Systems, 1989-1991.
