As a follow up to Episode 219, we continue our discussion of the harms of conversion therapy by behavior analysis in the 1970s by covering the remaining research articles published in JABA on the subject. Bringing his ever-detailed additional context is Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman, who helps us look at whether this research deserves its own expressions of concern (or is just inappropriate and gross) and which ethical principles we should focus on to ensure client rights are never violated by behavior analysis again. Plus, some time out to laud those behavior analysts who spoke out against this line of research back as it was originally being published.
This episode is available for 1.0 ETHICS CEU.
