Instruction Level IntermediateProposed Audience Psychologists involved in the development, supervision and management of assessment and treatment procedures and applied research with people with behavioral disorders.

A brief review of historical and more current ethical information will be followed by casebook-style discussions based on experiences of the presenter as well as composite examples that raise ethical issues in assessment and treatment for severe behavior disorders and the management of plans related to their treatment.
Learning Objectives On completion of the workshop the participants will be able to: 1. List three ethical issues that have influenced the general use of behavioral assessment and treatment procedures. 2. List three effects of ethical issues and precedents on the everyday practice of behavioral assessment and treatment with consumers (i.e., people directly receiving behavioral assessment and treatment services). 3. List three assessment and treatment procedures in the area of staff training and support (performance management/ organizational behavior management).
