General CEU: BEHP1053: Punishment Contingencies in Functional Treatment

BEHP1053: Punishment Contingencies in Functional Treatment is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In Punishment Contingencies in Functional Treatment, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.
