week 4
question 4 (A)
Topic 1: Using the Best Approaches to Treatment
Describe why it is so important for behavior analysts to use the most current research findings when treating a client? How does staying up to date connect to the BACB ethical guidelines? Name three sources (websites, journals, etc.) where you can find the latest research in your field. From one of these sources, provide a brief discussion of a recent development or innovative treatment approach which was published within the past year. Discuss how you might use this in your work as a psychology professional.
Question 4 (B)
Topic 2: Least Restrictive Environment, Punishers, Harmful Reinforcers, and Discontinuation of Treat
Provide three original case study examples to respond to this discussion which illustrates the different scenarios listed. For the first case, provide an example of a case where the issue of the least restrictive environment is your main concern. For the second case, provide an example where the use of either punishment or harmful reinforcers is of questionable ethical practice. Finally, for the third case, provide an example where the issue of discontinuation of a treatment plan is of primary concern. What are some of the socio-cultural and legal issues that go along with each of these cases, and how might you remedy the situation as per the BACB ethical guidelines?
