There was no clash with behaviorists - behaviorists simply went extinct out
of irrelevency.

The real "clash" if you must find one - was between various approached to
post-modernity and the structuralist theorists.

you might want to look at Sherry B. Ortner's "Theory in Anthropology
Since the Sixties" in Dirks et al _Culture/Power/History_ (Princeton,
1994). Nothing revolutionary, just an overview, but I guess that's what
you are looking for.
