This book provides the foundation for a lifelong journey of ethical practice in service for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities.

The second edition of Understanding Ethics in Applied Behavior Analysis includes an explanation of each element in the Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts, along with considerations for ethical practice and examples from the field. Professional behavior for the behavior analyst is also addressed when fulfilling roles as teacher, employee, manager, colleague, advocate, or member of a multidisciplinary team. This new edition expands on the first chapter's introduction of moral philosophy, adds a new chapter on ethical decision-making and core principles, and provides a study guide to assist those preparing for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board exams.

Drawing upon Beirne and Sadavoy's combined 40 years of clinical experience as well as the reflections of colleagues in the field, this is an indispensable guide to ethics for behavior analysis students.

Industry Reviews

"This timely book overruns with profound methods to manage the science we have dedicated our lives to. From the basic idea of admitting you might have a bias to learning how to seek out answers for the current elephants in the room - you will find realistic principles that can immediately be adopted into daily practice. A must read for all behavior analysts - new and old!" -R. Nicolle Carr, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA

"The updated edition of Understanding Ethics in Applied Behavior Analysis teaches a nuanced, thoughtful approach to professional decision-making in real-world situations. Ethical behavior is not easy nor straightforward. Yet, this book's fresh approach inspires courage when facing complex dilemmas at work. Such difficulties become, instead, opportunities to collaborate and act on shared values. Readable and engaging, with examples brought to life by diverse experts in behavior analysis, this humble and caring text is a unique contribution to a complex topic." - Robyn M. Catagnus, EdD, BCBA-D, LBS

"This book synthesizes concepts and terms in the new BACB (R) Ethics Code with existing ones for a more comprehensive and up-to-date view of ethical considerations. The authors apply the concepts in a thoughtful manner to the various facets of practice that all behavior analysts should read and become familiar with. This is a well-written book that addresses client rights, dignity, right to be free from aversive interventions, and informed choice, as integral aspects of the consent process. The section on ethical decision-making is particularly compelling and will serve as a very useful resource for behavior analysts. This book will serve as a much-needed resource on ethical practices for behavior analysts for years to come." - Michael Weinberg, PhD, LP, LABA, LBA, BCBA-D
