The field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has experienced explosive growth over the last decade and a half. The over-riding goal of any ABA effort must be to increase the autonomy of the individual, his/her ability to make choices for his or her own life and to live independently within society. Unfortunately, many individuals who are supposedly providing ABA services have not received the training needed to engage in this effort responsibly, effectively, and ethically. Such individuals cannot therefore carry out the mission of ABA stated above. This book addresses the all-important ethical responsibilities of a behavior analyst, discussing the responsibilities of behavior analysts as regards their clients, colleagues, and the greater field. It should be required reading for anyone who wants to be involved in ABA. Perhaps most importantly for consumers, a familiarity with this book will allow a determination of the qualifications and ethical stances of prospective behavior analysts. The numerous case studies make all the information highly concrete. This book should become a standard in graduate level ethics courses, as well as for anyone trying to prepare for the BCBA or BCABA exam.

This is a good book and a must have for Behavior Analysts. My ONLY complaint is the cover that needs updating. It is one of the worst I've seen and portrays us as incredibly washed out and boring individuals - ha! The book itself is good - great and badly needed information - the gold standard.

This was required reading for a college course I was taking, but I thought it was an excellent overview of the ethics in ABA. There were a lot of examples and it was easy to follow.

The book is a must have for behavior analysts. It gives a lot of examples of situations and breaks down each guideline. There were a few grammatical errors, but those can be over looked. If you are going into the field of behavior analysis I suggest you read this book and always use it as a reference.

Received the product with very good condition almost like new condition. Also received on time. Very satisfied with the purchase.

I learned a lot from this book with lots of practical application. I recommend it to anyone interested in ABA.

Easy read, highly recommended. Great 'real life' case examples which coincide with the BACB ethical guidelines and gives answers as to what to do if faced with the situations in the case studies. I've found it helpful in generalizing my own knowledge of the guidelines to real life scenerios as I prepare for the BCBA exam.

This edition is now out of date. you need to make sure that you order the newer edition. I ordered it for my ABA class and had to return it , as some of the information has been changed in the new edition. Be careful.

A thorough and clearly written book on a topic of great importance.

reading for classes can be boring, but this book makes it fairly clear cut. It has great examples and scenarios which are typically what you find in real life situations.
