About this Bundle

This bundle offers a foundational introduction to an important and enduring ethical consideration in the field: the obligation to provide effective, evidence-based treatment and the obligation to honour the autonomy, dignity, and expressed preferences of the people we serve. Both are reflected in the BACB Ethics Code and in the behaviour-analytic literature, making this an important area of knowledge for all practitioners. Drawing on foundational and contemporary sources, the six articles in this bundle collectively provide the conceptual and practical groundwork needed to begin developing knowledge in this area: exploring what it means to uphold the right to effective treatment, how assent has developed and been operationalized within ABA practice and research, and why attending to client participation is both an ethical imperative and a clinical asset. Practitioners will leave with a clearer picture of what the literature says about balancing effective treatment with client autonomy and assent.
