Session description: This is a ‘big Idea’ presentation, which is heavily influenced by article and presentation “There is no such thing as a bad boy: The Circumstances View of Problem Behavior” by Patrick Friman, Ph. D, ABPP. Dr Friman works for Boys Town in Omaha, and this discussion is based on the following idea and quote from Father Flanagan, the founder of Boys Town: “…no such thing as a bad boy, only bad environment, bad modeling, and bad teaching.” This presentation will go over ‘the circumstance view’ of behavior, how it is connected to principles of behavior analysis, and how taking this stance can allow us to have a more compassionate approach to care. Following this, participants will be able to apply this stance to multiple scenarios in their life, including with patients, co-workers, and everyone else.

1. Participants will be able to describe The Circumstances View of behavior, and how it differentiates from alternative views of behavior.
2. Participants will be able to explain how taking The Circumstances View of behavior allows us to fulfill our ethical obligations and improve therapeutic care.
3. Participants will be able to state how to extend the use of The Circumstances View to at least two different situations in their profession, and describe how they would respond differently to the individuals involved.
4. Participants will state how reinforcement and punishment impact behavior over time.
5. Participants will state the 4 common functions of all behavior.
6. Participants will be able to utilize one strategy to help mitigate when caregivers/families who struggle to follow recommendations.
