Summary of Chapter 27: “Clinical Decision Making and Political Correctness” by Dick Foxx
There are some global messages here, in this second-to-the-last week of the course. Chapter 27 reviews a national conference that was held to discuss the treatment of destructive behaviors. Dick Foxx reviews the behind-the-scenes activities, and shows us that many times, these clinical decisions are not based on data and science, but on political correctness and lobbying. The point is – so we follow the data of our science, or do we succumb to other factors not rooted in science?
Bailey and Burch – the ‘big names’ in ethics in our field – then describes, in chapter 28, how we must maintain our ethics by insisting on advocating for and using treatments that are based in science, and to make sure we are always paying attention to the data. They make the point that behaving ethically this way is the ultimate sensitivity to our clients.

Lastly, in chapter 30, Foxx goes back to the political arena and digs up more scary stuff about how politics rather than data often influence what we do. Kind of depressing!

The Classification System of Verbal Operants
In 1957, Skinner wrote the book Verbal Behavior in which he analyzed language based on the same environmental principles of behavior that he used to analyze nonverbal behavior. That analysis resulted in a classification system that allows for the identification of different types of language. The elementary verbal operants originated from this system, including:
Mands
Tacts.
Echoic.
Intraverbal (Sundberg, 1998).
This assignment allows you to further solidify your understanding of this classification system.

Review the examples in the grid and identify which verbal operant (mands, tacts, echoic, and intraverbal) is being presented.

Provide your own example for each of the four-verbal operants in narrative form.
