Hello all,
Behavior Analysis Online (www.behavior- analyst-online. org )has now
entered
into a new phase in its evolution and growth. We have moved from a
small but
visible website to becoming a key special interest group within the
Association for Behavior Analysis International. We plan to continue
our fouropen access journals:
The Behavior Analyst Today, The International Journal of Behavioral
Consultation and Therapy.
The Journal of Early and Intensive Behavioral Intervention, and the
Journal of Speech-Language
Pathology and Applied Behavior Analysis.
In addition to the above in 2008, we will be releasing two new
journals. They are The Journal of Behavior Analysis in Health, Sports,
Fitness, and Medicine and The Journal of Behavior Analysis of Offender
and
Victim - Treatment and Prevention. We are currently seeking articles to
fill
these new journals. The mission of the journals are as stated below:
The Journal of Behavioral Analysis in Health, Sports, Fitness and
Medicine
will be appearing in 2008. Behavioral Analysis in Health, Sports,
Fitness,
and Medicine (BAHSFM) is a journal for those interested in the
application
of behavioral principles for promoting wellness, enhancing fitness, and
sports skills development, and ameliorating disease. The bi-directional
interaction between physiology and behavior can be effectively mediated
through the application of elementary principles of behavior. Behavior
analysis has thereby exerted its influence in the fields of health and
medicine, as well as in the enhancement of the safe and skillful
performance
that in turn facilitates well-being. Examples include but are not
limited
to the areas of exercise and dietary compliance, smoking cessation,
stress
reduction, diabetes management, obesity treatment, and the development
of
sport performance and safety skills that bring about healthy
reinforcement- rich lifestyles less vulnerable to disease. This journal
aims
to foster a greater understanding of the impact of behavior analysis on
health, sports, fitness, and behavioral medicine and seeks to publish
conceptual and research articles in these areas. In addition, we seek
to
publish literature reviews and articles focused on behavior analytic
contributions to health policy and problem reduction.
The Journal of Behavior Analysis of Offender and Victim - Treatment and
Prevention (JBA-OVTP) "The mission of this new journal will be to
highlight
the role of behavior analysis in adult and juvenile crime prevention,
assessment of offenders including risk assessment, and treatment
programs
from a behavioral orientation including but not limited to the use of
behavioral counseling, collaborative goal setting, contingency
management,
functional assessment, functionally based interventions, respondent
conditioning and counter conditioning procedures, functional analytic
psychotherapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. The journal will
also
place a major focus articles on that present behavior analytic and
social
learning models of the development of criminal behavior, the behavioral
treatment of victims, victimology from a behavior analytic perspective,
behavioral interventions for violent crime, functional assessment of
offender motivation, and other types of criminal activity, including
behavioral approaches to the reduction of terrorism and insurgency
reduction. We see all of these topics as suitable for publication in
this
journal. In addition, the journal will publish articles on behavior
analysis
in the treatment of the offender that are policy oriented. Articles on
forensic behavior analysis, testifying, due process, and behavioral
profiling of criminal behavior will be considered. Finally,
organizational
behavior management and positive behavioral support articles dealing
with
system change issues in schools and criminal institutions will also be
considered.
So if you have something that you think is appropriate please feel free
to
send it our way.
