In May 1986, the Association for Behavior Analysis (ABA)
established a task force on the right to effective behavioral
treatment. The mandate of this task force was to identify and
delineate specific rights as they apply to behavioral treatment.
Impetus for this project came in part from the controversy over the
use of aversive procedures, which some held had no place in
treatment and, with evolution of the treatment process, were no
longer necessary. In con trast, others cited evidence that programs
based on positive reinforcement alone were sometimes not effective
in treating severe problems. These re searchers and practitioners
desired to ensure that clients and guardians be permitted to choose
treatments that included punishment procedures when assessments
warranted their use. The first editor approached Ogden Lindsley,
president of ABA, about establishing a task force to examine this
isuse. The ABA council decided to broaden the mandate to include an
examination of clients' right to effective behavioral treatment in
general. The first editor was asked to chair the task force and
appointed Saul Axelrod, Jon S. Bailey, Judith E. Favell, Richard M.
Foxx, and 0. Ivar Lovaas as members. Brian A. Iwata was appointed
liaison by the ABA council."
