Behavior analysts work hard to ensure that they have carefully and ethically performed the required tasks to determine an intervention that offers the greatest potential for successfully dealing with a behavior. With most behaviors, interventions can be developed that are reasonable and less stressful for the individual to participate in. But what do you do if the individual is getting physical and injuring themselves or others?

In circumstances like this, potentially problematic interventions need to be considered, such as physically restraining or secluding the individual. When these serious interventions are considered, it is absolutely crucial to evaluate and re-evaluate ethical considerations as painstakingly as possible to ensure that the intervention can be implemented with the lowest risk for negative consequences.
