| Behavioral Medicine Special Interest Group |
| Monday, May 29, 2006 |
| 7:00 PM–7:50 PM |
| University |
| Chair: Joseph D. Cautilli (Children Crisis Treatment Center/St. Joseph's University) |
| Presenting Authors: |
| This meeting is an introduction to the Behavior Analysis SIG at ABA. We hope that this SIG will begin to foster a greater understanding of the impact of behavior analysis on behavioral medicine. Behavior analysis has had considerable impact on the development of the field of behavioral medicine. Most importantly the study of self injury, feeding disorders, sleep problems, obesity, pain, CP, and smoking reduction. This SIG will focus on continuing and extending the legacy of that impact. A brief review of the literature shows that APA's Task Force (1999) on the promotion of empirically supported treatments list Multi-component operant therapy as a well established treatment for pain (Truner & Clancy, 1988; Turner, et al. 1990), as well as behavioral intervention for obesity (Epstein el al., 1994; Wheler & Hess, 1976). In addition multiple operant based behavioral techniques such as biofeedback are listed. For example biofeedback is listed as probably efficacious for a number of problems. These include EMG biofeedback for chronic pain (Flor & Birbaum, 1993; Newton-John et al, 1995), thermal biofeedback for Raynaud's syndrome (Freedman et al. 1983), thermal biofeedback plus autogenic relaxation training for migraine (Blanchard et. al, 1978; Sargent, et al. 1986) and tension headaches (Blanchard, et. al, 1980). With behavioral research continuing in many areas including vocal distress (Warnes, & Allen, 2005) and epilepsy (Wyler, Robbins, Dodrill, 1979). Most insurance companies cover the costs of operant behavioral intervention such as biofeedback for pain. In addition, many behavior analysts currently work in the hospital setting with clinically ill populations. All are welcome to attend this first meeting. The SIG has announced a robust agenda for 2006-2007. This meeting will serve to finalize the agenda and to ensure that all committee positions are filled:
1. Create a pamphlet series on behavior analytic practice in behavioral medicine issues (Something like - evidence supporting behavioral approaches to TBI, pain, epilepsy, sleep/insomnia, headaches, incontinence, cerebral palsy, feeding disorders, self-injury, medical procedure related anxiety and depression, etc. and what to expect from a behavior analytically oriented practitioner). I think that where appropriate the series can highlight relational frame, ACT issues, multi component operant therapy, functional analysis,
2. Sell the series to ABA and have the SIG collect royalties if or... |
