Abstract:

The Experimental Analysis of Human Behavior Special Interest Group invites you to formally recognize the contributions of Dr. Nathan Azrin. Dr. Azrin earned his PhD from Harvard University under B.F. Skinner in 1957. In a career spanning more than 50 years, Dr. Azrin has embodied the scientist-practitioner model, having conducted pioneering work in basic, translational, and applied behavior analysis. A few of his numerous achievements include advancing our understanding of aversive control of behavior, introducing applied technologies which are now commonplace, such as the use of time out from positive reinforcement and token economies, and advancing clinical practice by developing interventions for drug and alcohol dependence, Tourette's syndrome, depression, marital dysfunction, parenting, toilet training, and chronic unemployment, to name but a few. Dr. Azrin has also been a committed steward of the discipline by serving as editor of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, helping to found the Midwestern Association for Behavior Analysis (now ABAi), and helping to launch the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. Dr. Azrin and the panelists will reflect upon his many and diverse contributions with an eye toward the future.
