MORE RECENT Podcasts Featuring Dr. Winston

• The differences between compassion and permissiveness, parenting styles, and the means by which we tell ourselves we're "morally good" are at the core of much discourse surrounding therapeutic fields. With so little guidance as to what "morally good" or even "virtuous" looks like, we customize our own categories to make ourselves fit. Dr. Merrill Winston joins me today (as a continuation to our podcast with Paulie) to discuss empathy gone wild, excessive compassion, PTSD/CPTSD, and why the DSM should always be a piece of material we fall back on.
   

•  In the episode, Steve Ward, Kayla Perry, and Dr. Merrill Winston take a deep dive into the concepts of assent, trauma-informed care, and compassion; moreover, they illuminate current challenges within the field of behavior analysis as they relate to the exceedingly broad use of terms like these that lack nuance and seemingly promote rule-governance.
   

• Dr. Merrill Winston RETURNS for what we like to call Kayla and Merrill ruin everything. We dissect popular theories within the "disability culture" as a whole, we identify and spot logical fallacies in common arguments within and outside of the therapy field, and we attempt to shed some light on information that could be... well... inconvenient.

The man, the myth, the legend Dr. Merrill Winston joins the podcast today to tease apart the meaning of neurodivergence, the implications of blanket terms with vaguely defined principles, and implementation of punishment in a compassionate, humorous, and easy-on-the-ears fashion. We may not be able to rely on others to hold concern for us, but we can rely on ourselves to handle the difficulties we inevitably encounter.
 

• This podcast is for anyone working with individuals with reading comprehension problems, especially those with incomplete repertoires. One main point of the podcast is that it is unlikely lhat a student will comprehend even a simple story if they cannot comprehend and recount their day in detail. Our ability to seriate past events leads to deeper understanding, prediction, judgment, logical reasoning and host of higher thinking and reasoning and all of this is linked ot a perception of time.….Listen to find out more…

• The full title of the talk is, "Whitesplaining Racism: Part Deux! Logic, Disproportionality, Avatars, Hate Crimes, and Uncomfortable Feelings." Dr. Bruce Tinor was in the audience at the Black Applied Behavior Analysis Conference in Detroit and he urged me to make it a podcast so I asked him to join me with Matt and I think everyone will love it.

Dr. Winston and Andy Swartfigure, M.S., BCBA, explore the use of prompts, when they are more likely to be needed, but more importantly; how they must be recognised and how they can be faded through appropriate reinforcement. 

The field of Applied Behaviour Analysis can provide profound changes to the world of behavior change, habit-building, and more.

Topics range from confrontation seeking, antecedent interventions, consulting to organizations, and the values that drive his practice. 

Dr. Winston and the QCABA group discuss some of the more important points about the use of antecedent manipulations when working with persons with special needs.
