Ethics for BA while working with Adults

As trained mental health professionals, behavior analysts are frequently called upon to help people through volatile and vulnerable circumstances. These sensitive situations require great qualities of discernment and care, as behavior analysts can be asked to take on a great deal of responsibility at critical moments in their patients’ lives. To help behavior analysts approach complex situations with good judgment - as well as to protect patients seeking care - board certified behavior analysts are required to study the BACB Code of Ethics, which lays out the ground rules by which they can do their jobs most carefully and effectively.
