Back to Basics: Ethics for Analysts

Behavior Analysts often find themselves in unethical situations. While the Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB) created guidelines for such situations, real world scenarios do not often fit into the examples provided. In day to day practice, Behavioral Analysts face complex challenges that require both an accurate interpretation of the guidelines, and also, a fair amount of independent judgment. Ethics for Behavior Analysts, provides a guide on how to navigate through potentially unethical situations using real-life scenarios. This book introduces readers to the "ethical walkthrough" of the Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts, breaking down various gray areas. The authors guide readers toward possible solutions through numerous case examples. These include how to prevent conflicts, develop comfort where there is discomfort and effectively (and ethically) advocate and disseminate information. This book includes both student and instructor resources along with ten videos, making it the number one resource for Behavior Analysts.
