This presentation was filmed at the 2015 CCBS Ethics in Professional Practice Conference.

About the presentation:

Psychologists and Behavior Analysts face a myriad of ethical challenges in the course of their professional careers. On the surface, issues surrounding sex and money appear straightforward. It is never ok to have sex with clients nor is it acceptable to commit fraud to make money. However, a closer examination reveals lots of subtle complexities in running a successful private practice. All too often clinicians find themselves navigating these situations unsuccessfully. In this presentation we will explore some of these issues and discuss possible strategies for dealing with such powerful reinforcers.

Upon completion of this presentation attendees will be able to:

  • Identify a behavioral definition of human sexuality.
  • List two significant barriers to sharing sexuality with others.
  • List two strategies for accumulating more money in their clinical practice.
