Treating Fear Behavior

Behaviors related to fear are not uncommon. Most behavior analysts have seen a client at some point who responded to a context or stimulus with escape-maintained behaviors that could not be explained with operant learning histories. However, most graduate training programs and fieldwork experience do not cover the treatment of these behaviors. This course provides ABA research on fear-related behavior, with an emphasis on application and treatment planning.
