Abstract: Compassionate care has received a great deal of attention within the field of behavior analysis since the publication of the Taylor et al. (2019) call to action; there is a great deal of consensus about the need to incorporate more training in interpersonal skills to ensure that our clients and stakeholders feel maximally respected and supported. Progress has been made in recent years in several areas that are relevant to this goal; clarity in definitional elements of compassionate care has improved and component skills have been posited. In addition, qualitative research has broadened our understanding of the skill set, tools to measure the demonstration of component skills have been developed, and pilot studies have used evidence-based interventions to teach this clinical repertoire. In this presentation, research in these areas will be highlighted. Additionally, clinical issues such as social validity, generality, and authenticity will be discussed, as well as priorities for future research.
Learning Objectives: After attending this three-hour event:
- Learners will identify definitional elements of compassionate care and component skills associated with practice.
- Learners will identify tools to assess components of compassionate care in behavior analytic practice contexts.
- Learners will identify interventions that have been used to train behavior analysts to engage in behaviors associated with compassionate care.
- Learners will identify research priorities, including the assessment of generalization and authenticity in the demonstration of compassionate care.
