Behavioral Analyst Career

Decent Essays
Currently my desired career path, a behavioral analyst for the FBI, will require me to major in forensic psychology. For the professional interview assignment I interview a woman named Victoria Bauer, who works as a board certified behavioral analyst for the Inland Regional Center. With my certification I would like to be working with high-profile criminals, but Mrs. Bauer works with children who have autism and other developmental disabilities. Although she isn’t working in my desired career field, she was able to give me advice and examples of what it is like to work with the board certification of a behavioral analyst. I was extremely nervous, since it was my first professional interview, but Mrs. Bauer was friendly and seemed eager

    I could tell how invested she becomes in her clients and really wants them to accomplish their goals. I am currently in a research lab with Doctor Abby Reitman here at Old Dominion University and our research focus in on alcohol abuse and I am also certified in alcohol intervention. This interview just encouraged me to continue to strive to help people who are at their worse. My ultimate career goal is to be a guidance counselor and I feel that is important to become informed of what substance abuse looks like so that in the case I come across a child who perhaps is struggling in school because they have a parent that abuses substances I would be able to talk to the child and hopefully recognize the problem right away. Understanding those who are struggling with substance abuse is also important because substance abuse can effect so many other psychological…

    Despite the fact that the interviewer was obviously very nervous, the interview overall went very well. However, there are several things that the interviewer could also improve on for her next interview. She effectively explained the setup of the room and explained the recording process. She also assured the patient that everything that took place in the room would remain confidential. As stated in Arnold and Boggs, it is “the nurse’s legal responsibility to guard against invasion of the client’s privacy” (pg. 37).…

    During the due process hearing there were two key principals of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) being challenged. Both were dependent on the placement of Stephen Jeffers, the boy with Autism that is at the center of the hearing. The law requires that students with disabilities receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) so one aspect of the case was determining whether or not placing Stephen in the public school at this time in his life was appropriate.

That is: the clarifying of client’s expectations at the start, establishing rapport and a clear structure.' This is evident in the 4-stage model, particularly as the 4th stage allows for more exploration which helps in relationship building and 'establishing rapport'.
