In Interactions Between Medicines and Behavior: More Lessons from Our Basic Bestie, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Join Free →Dr. Sarah C. Mead Jasperse, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst - Doctoral, and Dr. Vanessa Minervini, a behavioral pharmacology researcher and everyone's favorite Basic Bestie, are back together to continue the conversation that was begun in "Why Every Applied Behavior Analyst Needs a Basic Bestie" at the DisruptABA conference. In this dynamic session, Sarah and Vanessa will talk about what every applied behavior analyst working in a clinical setting should know about the interactions between medicines and behavior. This will include a discussion about what behavioral pharmacology is, how drug effects on behavior are evaluated in the basic laboratory, what implications the basic laboratory results may have for clinical practice, and how applied behavior analysts can incorporate behavioral pharmacology awareness in their work with clients. If you've ever wondered about what effects prescription or non-prescription medications might be having on behavior, this session is for you! No prior experience with behavioral pharmacology is necessary; we'll start from the beginning and laugh and learn together!
