Analyzing Ethics Questions from Behavior Analysts is an essential tool for students and professionals. The proposed scenarios present complex, often borderline, situations that help shape the reader’s ethical judgement. The dilemmas presented by the authors have a relevance that engages the reader’s attention on every page; you will find that most, if not all, scenarios could happen to you and your colleagues. The book is an excellent companion to the classic Ethics for Behavior Analysts.Javier Virues-Ortega, PhD, BCBA-D, associate professor and Applied Behaviour Analysis programme director, The University of Auckland, New Zealand"Bailey and Burch have done it again!
