Aba Inside Track

This week our special guest, Dr. Christopher Tullis, joins us to discuss his thorough literature review of preference assessment research. In addition, we take a side-trip to reflect on indices of happiness and review why “happy” isn’t such a bad word. Plus, Rob shares his beef with the MSW; only one of them comes out of this episode alive! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
