Case Studies in Behavioral Forensic Analysis

Applications of ABA in Psychological Court Evaluations

Case Studies in Behavioral Forensic Analysis is a companion (technical, practitioner) audiobook to Dr. Ruben’s earlier book Behavioral Forensics: Using Applied Behavior Analysis in Psychological Court Evaluations (2020). It liberally expands the campaign to transform traditional forensic psychological evaluations into behaviorally (evidence-based) psychological evaluations. Basic (experimental) and applied research serve the foundation in elucidating the opaque splatter of criminal actions into transparently coherent and molecular units of behaviors. These units of criminal behavior all seamlessly connect along a continuum of space and time - or in a progression along behavioral segments. Four comprehensive sections divide into three sections:

• Qualification for Social Security Disability Insurance
• Evaluations of Parental Competency for Children’s Protective Services
• Evaluation for Probation/Parole

Case studies provides a further blueprint for the interdisciplinary cadre of forensic professionals conducting court evaluations.
