About the presentation:
The Professional and Ethical Compliance Code for Behavior Analysts dictates the parameters for our work as behavior analysts. However, the Code has fundamental implications that reach far beyond the interface with those whom we serve. Being a behavior analyst suggests a certain philosophy, a particular ‘world view,’ of the causes of behavior in all contexts. The foundational properties of science, empiricism, and analysis establish a way of thinking that dictates specific ways of working and regarding behavior not just in clinical practice but in everyday life.
Upon completion of this presentation attendees will be able to:
- Describe the sections of the Compliance Code that deals with the conceptual parameters of the work of behavior analysts.
- Explain the importance of one world view with which we approach clinical and personal behavioral issues.
- Explain the attitudes and characteristics of science that influence our behavior both within and outside of our work.
