“…The time has come for us to apply behavior change technology to the problem of training and marketing behavior analysts within applied fields. We agree with Fraley (1981) that the spread of behavior analysis can best be accomplished from within each profession.…”

“…We read with great interest the Fraley (1981) paper, "The Spread of Behavior Analysis to the Applied Fields." The author pointed out important fundamental obstacles to the acceptance of behavior analysis in applied areas and extrapolated that the spread of behavior analysis into applied fields will be enhanced if there are credentialed professionals, who are trained behavior analysts, in those fields.…”

“…Numerous scholars in ABA have suggested that behavior analysts should be involved in behavioral medicine (e.g., Ator, 1986;Blum & Friman, 2000;Fawcett, 1985;Fraley, 1981;Glenn, 1993;Pennypacker, 1981) and have even gone as far as to recommend behavioral medicine as an emphasis for master's degree programs in ABA (e.g., Ellis & Glenn, 1995;Hopkins & Moore, 1993;Moore & Shook, 2001). Based on our research, few behavior analysts are still addressing this collaboration today.…”

Behavioral Medicine (BM) is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the development and integration of behavioral and biomedical sciences (Schwartz & Weiss, 1978b). The interdisciplinary nature of the field poses barriers to researchers and practitioners interested in the field. While there are currently many disciplines that contribute to the field of behavioral medicine, this paper focuses exclusively on the relationships between the biological and psychological sciences, highlighting the theoretical similarities and differences. Our preliminary analysis of publications in each discipline revealed that while Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) had early influences in behavioral medicine and many behavior scientists recommend the collaboration between ABA and BM, the relationship between the two is tenuous. The roles of an applied behavior analyst and practitioner of behavioral medicine are largely the same, focused on the prevention and treatment of health conditions. These similarities provide excellent opportunity for collaborative work. The present theoretical analysis of BM examines contributions of ABA to BM and vice versa, discusses ABA's history and current role within the field BM, and provides a rationale for the future collaboration between of behavior science and behavioral medicine.

“…APA has lost much of its tie to science in spite of its stated mission "to advance psychology as a science and profession" and of its attempts to promote psychology as a science (see Crawford, 1992). The EC has been concerned that ABXs growth should not threaten its scientific base, a concern expressed by the broader association as well (Branch & Malagodi, 1980;Edelstein, 1982;Fraley, 1981;Leigland, 1984;Michael, 1979;Morris, 1992;Pierce & Epling, 1980;Skinner, 1983).…”

Some reflections on 25 years of the association for behavior analysis: Past, present, and future

This paper offers some reflections on the discipline and profession of behavior analysis, as well as on the Association for Behavior Analysis (ABA), on the occasion of the association's 25th anniversary. It is based on a panel session conducted at the 1999 convention that included six past presidents of ABA (Donald M. Baer, Judith E. Favell, Sigrid S. Glenn, Philip N. Hineline, Jack Michael, and Edward K. Morris) and its current Executive Director and Secretary-Treasurer (Maria E. Malott). Among the topics addressed were (a) the survival of behavior analysis in university and cultural contexts, (b) the training of behavior-analytic researchers and practitioners, (c) relations between basic and applied research, (d) convergences between behavior analysis and other disciplines, (e) the structure and function of ABA, and (f) the importance of students for the future of the association, the discipline, and the profession. Questions from the audience raised issues concerning the relevance of major behavior-analytic journals, advances in behavior analysis since the death of B. E Skinner, and the availability of accessible, popular material on applied behavior analysis.
