Meeting Life's Challenges–Strategies and Stories: A View From the Far Side

University of Massachusetts (Emeritus)
INTRODUCTION, Judith E. Favell, Symposium Chair
This manuscript, by Dr. Beth Sulzer-Azaroff, was originally presented as part of a special Symposium
at the Association for Behavior Analysis in Orlando, FL, 1999. This special event was organized by a
group of women who are distinguished behavior analysts. They were asked to share their views on how
behavior analytic principles and methodology had been instrumental in helping them meet the
professional and personal challenges they had faced throughout their careers and lives.
Topics ranged from identifying and achieving professional goals to facing personal crises, such as
illness or death of a loved one. It is this last issue that Dr. Sulzer-Azaroff addresses in this
article. It is a brave and inspiring personal story as well as a highly instructive lesson in not
only espousing behavior analysis, but also living it.
