Behavior Analysts are currently facing times in which our science is under attack. Caricatures of control-hungry scientists played by us are touted through popular media, in books, and on the internet. As a field, we appear to only just now begin recognizing these problems. We have talked to ourselves for decades, and are only now beginning to emerge outside of our own conferences and journals into the world at large. Like an infant awakening from a nap, we slowly wipe the sleep from our eyes and take in what occurred during this slumber. We should note that there are other disciplines vying for our turf and laying claim to the practice of behavior analysis. Unfortunately, due to our lack of positive press, we are finding ourselves engaged in an uphill battle just to stay where we are. In this moment of evolution in our discipline, many behavior analysts find themselves gainfully employed -- blissfully unaware of the impending catastrophe if action is not taken. We’ve carved out a comfortable niche in the arena of autism and developmental disabilities, however our efficacy and humanity in this domain is constantly being ignored or challenged. With the rise of awareness of autism, we find ourselves compared to unproven theories and practitioners. With all of these other practitioners and disciplines, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. However, it is not them that should be of concern. No – the enemy—that which can make or break our science--that enemy is within.
