Abstract
Engaging in compassionate communication with caregivers is necessary for behavior-analytic practitioners. There are only a few studies focused on training graduate students to perform behavior-analytic activities with compassion. We present two case studies in which we evaluated the effectiveness of a training package on two participants’ level of compassionate care and interpersonal skills when conducting three behavior-analytic tasks: intake interviews, functional analysis interviews, and progress updates. Participants experienced various caregiver behavioral profiles ranging from cooperative, neutral, and uncooperative. Following the training package, participants scored higher on a compassionate care checklist and interpersonal skills data collection system when conducting intake interviews. Implications of the effectiveness of these training procedures and future research directions are discussed.
期刊介绍：
Behavior Analysis in Practice, an official journal of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, is a peer-reviewed translational publication designed to provide science-based, best-practice information relevant to service delivery in behavior analysis. The target audience includes front-line service workers and their supervisors, scientist-practitioners, and school personnel. The mission of Behavior Analysis in Practice is to promote empirically validated best practices in an accessible format that describes not only what works, but also the challenges of implementation in practical settings. Types of articles and topics published include empirical reports describing the application and evaluation of behavior-analytic procedures and programs; discussion papers on professional and practice issues; technical articles on methods, data analysis, or instrumentation in the practice of behavior analysis; tutorials on terms, procedures, and theories relevant to best practices in behavior analysis; and critical reviews of books and products that are aimed at practitioners or consumers of behavior analysis.
