Course Description
Early behavior analysts, including B. F. Skinner and C. B. Ferster, examined the environmental contexts and contingencies associated with behavior commonly characterized as mental illness. Their work also recognized that identifying the environmental variables influencing behavior does not necessarily result in successful behavior change.
Clinical Behavior Analysis (CBA) applies behavior-analytic principles and methods to the conceptualization and treatment of behavior frequently associated with psychological distress and mental health conditions. Although behavior analysis and mainstream clinical psychology developed along increasingly separate paths, later developments in the analysis of verbal behavior—including Relational Frame Theory and research on rule-governed behavior—helped establish a foundation for the contemporary development of CBA.
This course introduces Clinical Behavior Analysis and examines its potential contributions to both behavior analysis and psychology. Participants will consider how private events may be analyzed as behavior to be explained rather than assumed to be the causes of other behavior. The course also examines how behavioral case formulation and intervention may help connect traditions that have often been treated as separate areas of psychological science and practice.
