摘要：
A recent survey by the new PIBA SIG suggests strong support for licensure among behavior analysts. This editorial
will explore some of the common arguments against licensure and present some factual information to support or
counter those arguments. The four common arguments are (1) licensure will hurt the science of behavior analysis (2)
licensure protects the profession but fails to protect the public, (3) master level people do not receive sufficient
training to function independently and (4) regulatory concerns. Finally, we will look at the history of licensing and
counter history of calls to exclude professions from licensing
