| Abstract: The ethical practice of behavior analysts remains a very high concern in our field. Although identifying a situation as potentially unethical is relatively straightforward, the more important issue is exactly how a behavior analyst solves unethical situations. That is, what exactly is the strategy and skill sets needed for a behavior analyst to approach a colleague who may be behaving unethically and assist that person in stopping the unethical behavior and getting back to behaving within our field's ethical guidelines. The panelists will present a series of unethical situations in service delivery, and then discuss different ways of solving these dilemmas. The audience will hear how there are different ways of thinking about ethical problems and will hear different ways of solving these issues. The results should be the audience understanding that there may be more than one strategy or approach to solve ethical situations in which they are involved. |
