Behavior Analysis controversial procedures

CONTROVERSIAL BEHAVIOR ANALYTIC PROCEDURES In a prior assignment, you considered some controversial treatments that were not evidence based. Controversial treatments can also be evidence based. There is debate in the field of ABA surrounding treatments involving guided compliance and extinction, particularly attention extinction and escape extinction. Some behavior analysts are quick to jump to these interventions, not fully considering how the side effects will impact the client. These interventions can be aversive and arguably considered punishment.

 Conduct a search for information on one of the following aversive procedures: guided (forced) compliance, attention extinction, and escape extinction. Cite the source and describe the treatment.

 Prepare 3–4 pro statements that might be given to support the use of the treatment. 

Also, prepare 3–4 con statements that might be given to oppose the treatment. Evaluate your findings. Discuss at least four relevant ethics codes that you have learned in this course thus far.

the ethics code must be from the following link which is the BACB behavior analyst code of ethics. : https://www.bacb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Ethics-Code-for-Behavior-Analysts-220316-2.pdf
