What's Wrong with this Picture? Effectiveness Is Not Enough
As to diseases, make a habit of two things: to help, or at least to do no harm. Hippocrates
Of the many important facets expressed in Hippocrates’ simple ideal, surely one of the most important is its universality. Indeed, this ethical principle is as applicable to caregivers as it is to physicians; to behavior problems as to diseases; and to animals as to people. However, as straightforward as the dichotomy between helping and harming may first appear, it can be a complicated subject regarding the procedures used to change an animal’s behavior.
