Ethics for Behavior Analysts: 2nd Expanded Edition PDF
I am only halfway through reading this text for an advanced ABA class, but I am very impressed with it. It is organized the same as the ethical guidelines listed by the BACB, which makes it easy to use to study for the BCBA/BCaBA exams. It provides vignettes to present various ethical situations, and gives the reader the chance to think about how they would deal with a similar issue, and then discusses the generally accepted ethical response(s) which are appropriate for BAs to use.By ScrapHappy
I also bought the older version of this book as an ebook because it was specifically what my professor wanted us to buy. This newer edition is expanded and has more situations and covers more issues and problems, but is very similar to the older edition, which I also think is very good.
I find that the vignettes allow me to better visualize ethical situations which could arise, and also allow me to reflect on times I have been in similar situations on the job. I can compare how I responded then to how the guidelines suggest I respond, and this has allowed me to better deal with some situations and to feel more confident with others. I also can see that this book will be very useful to turn to if I find myself in a murky ethical situation and I need to clarify the problems involved to manage them with the utmost confidence that I am fulfilling my ethical duties as a BA.
These authors take a potentially dry subject and infuse it with lively examples using clear language.By Mary Hull
The overall effect is accessibility. The information expanded upon the white book. I read the book and then was able to sail through the ethics section of the BCBA testprep training modules.
