  8. Integrity • “Integrity means upholding high moral principles, and in this regard we have three: (a) a responsibility to all parties affected by our services; (b) a commitment to evidence-based treatments; and, above all else, (c) do no harm.” Bailey, J., & Burch, M.

  9. Someone with Integrity…

  10. Guideline 1.04 • Truthful and honest, • Follow through on obligations, • Refrain from making commitments we can not keep, • Abide by the legal and moral code of the community.

  11. Ethical Dilemma 1.04 “Dr. J recently was recruited to teach at a major university where he was expected to set up a laboratory to study self-injurious behavior (SIB). His previous research emphasized the effectiveness of certain aversive stimuli that, when made contingent on early responses in the SIB chain, greatly reduced the probability of the final members of the chain being emitted. The work had been published in prestigious journals. Dr. J. was shocked when one of the BCaBAs he hired to work in the lab said that this research was prohibited by a state law that had been passed about 10 year earlier.” Bailey, J., & Burch, M. (2011). Ethics for behavior analysts. (2 ed.). New York, NY: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

  13. Ethical Dilemma 1.02 “Dr. Sandra F., a professor at a small Midwestern college, is asked to teach a course in child psychology. Dr. F is a Doctoral level BCBA-D wit ha PhD from a major university, and although she did her dissertation on children with phobias she has never taken a graduate course or seminar specifically on this topic.” Bailey, J., & Burch, M.
