- The Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting behavior analysis. The organization has over 9,000 members. The group organizes conferences and publishes journals on the topic of applied behavior analysis (ABA). ABAI has issued detailed, specific position papers intended to guide practitioners of ABA. The ABAI publishes six scholarly journals including The Psychological Record and their primary organ, Perspectives on Behavior Science, formerly The Behavior Analyst. They also publish an informational journal, Education and Treatment of Children, describing practical treatment of children with behavioral problems. ABAI is closely connected to the Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC), a school that has been condemned by the United Nations for torture. ABAI has repeatedly endorsed the methods of the JRC, including its use of the Graduated Electronic Decelerator, a device that delivers painful electric skin shocks as punishment for the purpose of behavior modification. The JRC's board of directors includes Richard Malott who served as president of ABAI, Josh Pritchard who was on the ABAI executive council, and through 2018 it included Margaret Vaughan who edited the ABAI "flagship" journal The Behavior Analyst. ABAI has honored the JRC's private attorney, Robert A. Sherman, for his legal defense of the JRC's use of painful punishments on its students. (en)
