**This course will provide the participant with 1.5 Ethics Learning Type BACB® CEUs**
Description of Learning Type CE Event: The art of addressing ethical dilemmas appears to be one that behavior analysts are quite proficient in. However, upon closer analysis, that may not necessarily be the case. Rather, it is possible that behavior analysts are more adept at identifying things they don’t like and conflating them into ethical dilemmas. The danger of this is that we begin to develop a coercive, fear-based approach to ethics, a problem that is not easily reversed in our field. In this discussion, Dr. Spiker will discuss some of the nuances and variables related to the development of ethical practices vs. preferences in behavior analytic work.
