Episode 219 - A Call to Action on Rekers and Lovaas w/ Dr. Sarah Campau + Dr. Matthew Capriotti (feat. Alan Haberman)

In 2020 the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis posted an Expression of Concern regarding Rekers & Lovaas (1973) as a step in acknowledging behavior analysis's complicity in the pseudoscience of conversion therapy. This week we're joined by special guests, Drs. Sarah Campau and Matthew Capriotti, as well as Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman, to talk about what comes next. We review the controversy over the original paper, discuss public policy around supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and start planning how behavior analysis can kickstart new research that benefits sexual and gender minorities.

For more on the history of conversion therapy, Dr. Campau suggests the UnErased podcast.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
