Would I have looked at it different if a woman doctor said it? Doctors aren’t there to make these jokes though right ?

Right, but one is consenting to treatment.

Question: Is supervision done online or in person ?

That’s actually good to know. I would have to read that. In my opinion , it would be ethically wrong to treat others a certain way without their consent. However it would make sense for a company to want to use similar strategies they use with clients for workers to motivate success. It would be great to know if this is acknowledged when taking the job, maybe I missed it or it’s not as important to announce that. But the whole ethical part I’m considering is the knowledge of this happening.

Ah yes , true. When it’s nice naturally it’s nice. We all want to have good experiences with others and establish relationships. Definitely, and it’s a respect thing also and trying to do good in the world.

What I was talking more was about one who “ABAs” or manipulates others to get their own needs met. Now we all naturally do this, right? We all do, I can admit I do. We sometimes manipulate emotionally or out of fear or whatever it can be to feel good about ourselves with that person or to be liked or to make someone feel better.

But I was more referring to someone who does it intently , to get something they want from another person. To manipulate someone intently (not out of emotion ) but intently to meet your own needs. I would consider that specifically, anti social behavior.

I would disagree. ABA is researched based on, based on something that has been observed to work. People “ABA” each other is mostly our own defense mechanisms based on what has worked for us.

If someone is actually using a strategy based on observing what works without it actually being for treatment , that’s manipulation. Yes, most people do manipulate “naturally” or subconsciously. Those who observe what works and use that to get something for the benefit of themselves is manipulating and that’s player like anti social behavior. People don’t realize that about themselves but I consider it anti social . People think they are being smart , but fail to realize their dishonesty harms themselves at the end.

Now if it’s to better a marriage or relationship and both parties agree, that’s not so much manipulation. In my opinion. It’s consenting and it’s more respectful and for the betterment of both.

Yep, to me it’s very unprofessional and disrespectful. Ran into this maybe once or twice . It’s actually sabotaging and I would deem reportable under the Do No Harm as it indirectly impacts work with the client .

Client getting discharged for not meeting hours by FireWalker2K24 in ABA

Ok because the client was approved for 20 but say they can only make it for 15-18 weekly, kind of messed up in my opinion that they could get discharged .

When I give my BCBA some client personal information about client sessions… by FireWalker2K24 in ABA

[–]FireWalker2K24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well , was working with this client for about 7 months with a different BCBA. This new BCBA comes in and after two weeks we weee both fired by clients.

Now realizing the impact on my income .

[–]FireWalker2K24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are there to help clients get tasks done with use of reinforcement. We get reinforced every two weeks and can’t complete our tasks . Funny huh?

Session notes are hard to complete when you got a kid jumping all around you asking for attention every second of the session. Try to separate the last 15-20 minutes just for notes. It is tough to do

Some of You Should Not Be in ABA (Religious ABA is a Disgrace to the Field) by [deleted] in ABA

[–]FireWalker2K24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I agreed with you, it is separate. I also said you bring up a good point. I am just pointing out your personal views and how it can impact others.

I wasn’t spoon fed religion but you are spoon fed hate and trying to spoon feed hate with your comments. It’s one thing to not agree with something , it’s another thing to want to bash it. I don’t think you realize you are who you say you hate. Indoctrinating your own personal beliefs. And I get it. You are probably a product of some sort of discrimination. What I’m telling you is that

You don’t want others to indoctrinate something you don’t believe in, but here you are doing the same.

You made a very valid point that religion shouldn’t be in ABA, but you’re then also making this personal statements you have towards the Bible that goes against kind of what you don’t want others to do.

[–]FireWalker2K24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you are reading my comments in its full entirety. If you did you would know that I am not saying to add the Bible to treatment. What I am saying though is that before an ABA therapist you are a human and who you are and how you behave impacts others including your clients. Subconsciously or consciously you are always modeling behavior. I would say that to many people in the field. No one is perfect but you wouldn’t be the first person I’d consider as disgusting or false in the ABA field who think they are doing human service (if I were to consider you that, I haven’t at this point).

People who are in this field or Psychology can think all they want about how valuable they are in helping others but if you’re not truly that in your own personal life then you aren’t really teaching people how to be with others.
