Ethical Skepticism and Behavior Therapy: A Reply to Ward.
Kitchener, Richard F.; Ward, L. Charles
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v48 n5 p646-50 Oct 1980
The view that behavior therapists are ethical relativists is challenged. Behavior therapists hold no philosophical positions that preclude justification of ethical principles, but they must be "ethical skeptics." In response, it is argued that there is no basis for ethical skepticism or for this philosophical defense of behavior therapy. (Author/CS)
