In this episode, we cover a recent presentation where I included a good portion of the kitchen sink. The kind of work one might do in forensics and ABA, a little more on competence to stand trial, and also public speaking, social validity, intimate partner violence, and some general information on how to apply what we know in this unique specialty of forensic and behavior analysis.
Highlights:
Different forensic settings where ABA can be applied
The challenge of implementing ABA in forensic settings
The “other forensic psychology” = Public speaking
Fitness to stand trial
Social validity and social significance
Intimate partner violence
The challenge of establishing cause and effect relationships - Forensic Behavioral Case Conceptualization
Generality in forensic settings
Looking at problems from a “systems” perspective

Highlights:
This interview focused on the importance of improving supervision in behavior analysis, with Dr. Weinberg discussing the upcoming comprehensive book on behavior analytic supervision co-authored with Joseph Catilli and Lynn Connor. Mike emphasized the need for evidence-based supervision and highlighted the current gaps in training, particularly in case conceptualization and interdisciplinary collaboration. He shared examples of complex cases where medical and neurological issues influenced behavior, stressing the importance of recognizing the limits of behavioral interventions. The conversation also covered the high rates of burnout among behavior analysts and the need for a restorative model to address supervisor burnout. Dr. Weinberg proposed the development of a structured system for supervised experience placements, similar to APA's model in psychology, to improve the quality of supervision and training in the field. We discussed the challenges of preparing new BCBAs for complex cases and the potential for rotations in various settings to broaden their experience. The book aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for universities and practicing behavior analysts.

Highlights:
This is the third episode in a three-part series featuring Dr. Jerrod Brown. Following up on our discussion of Forensic Neuroscience, Dr. Brown introduces us to the tasty topic of nutritional neuroscience. We cover the Dan White case from San Francisco, California in the 1970s. Mr. White murdered Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, after a series of disputes. In the years since many have scoffed at White’s lawyers who argued his poor diet led to physiological state where the defendant was suffering from a diminished ability to make decisions (i.e., “Twinkie Defense”). Could there have been something to that idea? Join us for this detailed discussion of how nutrition helps conduct our behavior. Contact Dr. Brown at jerrod01234brown@live.com for further information on this topic. He will provide a copy of the comprehensive nutritional neuroscience article to anyone who emails him.
Highlights:
- “Twinkie defense”: The Dan White case overview
- Diet and criminal behavior connection
- Lead paint
- Prison diet and health impact
- Circadian rhythms and their impact on health and behavior
- The basics of neurotransmitters, neurohormones, and the HPA axis
- The literature on lifestyle medicine and therapeutic lifestyle changes
- Community partnerships and programs like community gardens and horticulture therapy
- Criminal responsibility in light of nutritional neuroscience. Do we not choose what we eat?
