I'm wondering if any PCTers have read the 2003 book by William R.  
Uttal, "Psychomythics"?  
I have just sent him an email to inquire if he is aware of PCT since  
it's unfortunately not mentioned in his book.

Although I have never read it, I think I heard some discussion of this book  
some time ago while I was participating (rather unsuccessfully) on the  
Interbehaviorist discussion group (at the invitation of Dan Palmer). I've  
forgotten whether the Interbehaviorists liked the book or not. But I do  
remember that they didn't much care for PCT.

Why do you think Uttal should have mentioned PCT in his book?
