Description
Ethics for Behavior Analysts, 4th edition
Ethics for Behavior Analysts, 4th edition is a textbook on the ethical principles that govern applied behavior analysis, written by Jon Bailey and Mary Burch. It covers the field for graduate students, BCBA and BCaBA candidates, and working practitioners. The 4th edition aligns with the revised Behavior Analyst Certification Board Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, which took effect in 2022.
Rather than listing rules on their own, the authors work through the code with a scenario-based approach, covering everyday challenges such as dual relationships, social media boundaries, conflicts of interest and client rights. A step-by-step ethical decision-making model runs through the book for resolving these situations.
