The Power of Compassionate Communication in Behavior Analysis 

Abstract: How we think, the language we use, and our awareness of how we use our power — all these combined emphasize the importance of compassionate communication.  During this message, compassionate communication will be defined, described, and explained.   Additionally, ways in which compassionate communication can be applied to the professional practice of behavior analysis, in service of positive outcomes for stakeholders, will be shared.

Advancing the Practices Humble Behaviorism and Cultural Humility in Behavior Analysis 

Abstract: Empirically based literature suggests that the practices of humble behaviorism and cultural humility by practitioners in the field of behavior analysis may lead to more positive outcomes for stakeholders. The concept of humble behaviorism has been written about in behavior analytic journals as far back as 1991. In his article, Humble Behaviorism, Neuringer hypothesized if behaviorists were more humble, their effectiveness as scientists would increase (Neuringer, 1991).  Additionally, more contemporary work around the conceptual framework of cultural humility, moves beyond the individual accountability addressed with humble behaviorism to address power differentials and institutional accountability, at an organizational level (Fisher-Borne et al, 2015).  This continuing education event will serve to deconstruct and explain humble behaviorism and cultural humility, as well as identify empirically based methods for advancing these practices to promote positive outcomes for stakeholders, in the field of behavior analysis.
