Keynote Address – A Spectrum of Clinical and Practical Applications Derived from Behavior Analysis

Speaker(s):

Friman, Patrick, Ph.D., ABPP

Presentation:

The core idea of behavior analysis is revolutionary in that it attributes the source or cause of behavior not to the behaving person him or herself but to what has happened to that person up to the exhibition of the behavior. This is one of the most powerful ideas ever invented by mankind for understanding, knowing, and dealing with human behavior, especially when it is a problem (because it seeks not to fix the blame but rather seeks to fix the problem instead). And virtually everything this idea touches improves. It has revolutionized approaches to habit disorders, incontinence, addictions, delinquency, and numerous other major concerns of our time. Still, the idea has only begun to be harnessed. Not only can it be used to improve the lives of clients in need, but it can also be used to improve the lives of their providers, and indeed the lives of all people. This talk will describe several options derived from behavior analysis the application of which could exert a powerful beneficial influence on everyday life. Examples range from reducing stage fright to improving relations with significant others and much in between.

Objectives:

  1. Describe the core idea of behavior analysis.

  2. Identify a way to use emotion to enhance persuasion.

  3. Describe a way to use choice to reduce inappropriate responses to aversive circumstances
