German translation of Powers — current status and rights contact?

Dear colleagues,

I’ve recently joined IAPCT, and I have a question I haven’t been able to settle on my own.

As far as I can tell, none of Bill Powers’ books — Behavior: The Control of Perception above all — has ever appeared in German, even though a Chinese translation exists. Is that correct, or have I missed an edition somewhere?

If there really is no German edition, I’d like to explore the possibility of one. Could you point me to whoever currently holds the German-language translation rights — the Powers estate, Benchmark Publications, or someone within the association?

Any guidance on whom to approach, and on whether such a project would be welcome, would be much appreciated.

With kind regards,
Arne

Hi Arne,

Great to learn that you’re interested in PCT, and welcome to this forum.
The rights to B:CP (Behavior - the control of Perception) is with the Powers family. Denny Powers is currently publishing the original book.

If you email me (president@iapct.org) I’ll share what contact info I have, so you could inquire yourself.
Kind regards,
Eva
