| Abstract: Within the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA), the analysis and treatment of mental health-related symptoms and behaviors is becoming an increasingly more prominent topic. Clinical Behavior Analysis is an area of ABA that applies functional behavioral principles to these clinically relevant behaviors (Dougher, 2000). Applications of clinical behavior analysis have been noted in past research and papers that demonstrate the importance of consideration of private events when treating socially significant behaviors (Luciano, Torneke, & Ruiz, 2022). For instance, clinician behaviors should also be considered when analyzing the context of a private behavior within sessions. Though the topic has been conceptualized and defined in other sources, there are still practical considerations needed when applying strategies within a clinical setting. Additionally, there is still a need for growing research within clinical behavior analysis. This panel aims to discuss definitions, applications, and considerations for the future of the field, as well as other questions from the audience. |
