According to Bailey and Burch (2013), behavior analysis is unique. They argue that other fields base their treatment on science. Behavior analysis is the only human service approach that takes the next step and requires the treatment to take itself. This has been proven to be possible because the method was founded on a single-subject design research where the person controls themselves.
Behavioral analysis has an impact on current ethical guidelines which are responsible for conduct. One of the ethical conducts is integrity. Behavioral analysis has shown for a person to go through this process they have to be truthful and honest. An analyst follows the obligations of professional commitments with work which is of high quality (Bailey & Burch, 2013). The analysts refrain from making commitments and promises which they cannot keep. Both the analysts and the person being analyzed have to conform to legal and moral codes of a professional community. This has promoted trust, truthfulness and loyalty in the community
