Timothy Adams posted May 25, 2020 1:45 PM Behavior analysts maintain the high standards of behavior of the profession. They are the lifeline for those in needs and take steps to protect themselves and their clients. 1.01 Reliance on Scientific Knowledge. Behavior analysts rely on professionally derived knowledge based on science and behavior analysis when making scientific or professional judgments in human service provision, or when engaging in scholarly or professional endeavors. 1.03 Maintaining Competence through Professional Development. Behavior analysts maintain knowledge of current scientific and professional information in their areas of practice and undertake ongoing efforts to maintain competence in the skills they use by reading up to date materials, attending conferences, and utilizing other professionals in the same field. Multiple Relationships and Conflicts of Interest. Due to the potentially harmful effects of multiple relationships, behavior analysts avoid multiple relationships. Behavior analysts must always be sensitive to the potentially harmful effects of multiple relationships. These guidelines are important for various reasons. Behavior Analysts need to stay updated with different researches and illnesses and how they are treatable to be able to offer the best service to their clients. Being aware and mindful of unprofessional relationships helps not only the client, but also the analysts and doesn’t disrupt services or impair the client even more. Tyheem Belcher posted May 23, 2020 9:30 PM When it comes to the importance of a behavioral analyst there are so many responsible conduct of behaviors that are deemed necessary per guidelines of the professional services being offered. I feel that Section 1.03 maintaining competence through professional development is greatly indicated for any BA no matter how long you have been in this field which enhances the professional aspects versus the client along with maintaining boundaries, avoiding becoming too personal that doesn’t pertain to the issues indicated. Overall the efforts to maintain competence is forever needed and the participating in workshops, obtaining coursework, and maintaining appropriate professional credentials this ensures that there are importance of knowledge designs and staying abreast to any changes in research and proposals to tenure the ethical treatments of human research are instituted. Next would be Code 1.04 for Integrity which is truthful and honest with the care and developmental status which this can be mostly concerning of legal and ethical issues. When it comes to being truthful it protects the team as well as the client, when you engage in the truth avoiding fraudulent contingencies you are able to backup the commitments, and provide high quality work solely legally and ethically. Which maintaining the responsibilities of the code of timely responding, reporting, and updating information and keeping things on record, versus doing things off the record. The last code 1.06 with multiple relationships and conflicts of interest. This can be potentially harmful when it comes to taking relationships outside of the clinic or plan of care. This can deviate the unforeseen factors that needs to be assessed, re-examined, and resolved, so when the relationship maintains a professional outlook it avoids any deviations that can affect the growth and development. So, it is important to avoid taking gifts or giving false hope when the situation needs to be recognized and rectified. The public aspects of BA is dealing with the community this in turn may be individuals that are wealthy, middle class, lower class, and at a poverty level. No matter the walk of life one may endure it is important for the individual to ensure that they keep the generalizable knowledge for the discipline and maintaining professionalism as indicated above ensuring that you are meeting the needs of every individual respecting the rights legally and codified within behavior analysis.
