Bobby Newman has again produced a readable, informative book that gets to the heart of the matter
about our field, applied behavior analysis is all about increasing the autonomy of the individual. This
simple statement, reinforced with touching, sometimes gut-wrenching, and often humorous stories
displays the central value that we support in our quest to improve the lives of our most vulnerable
clients. The Inherent Worth and Dignity of ALL Individuals is a must read for anyone who wants to
make a difference.
Jon S. Bailey, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Florida State University
In The Inherent Worth and Dignity of ALL Individuals, Dr. Bobby Newman makes specific, concrete
recommendations how Unitarian Universalist Congregations can approach the task of making
adaptations to encourage full participation of people, especially those with mental disorders, in
congregational life. He does not avoid the grey areas of disruptive behavior, phobias, and
stress-based reactions, or easy one-size-fits-all solutions, instead giving readers examples which
offer compassionate understanding of how to approach a solution. A set of Congregational Rights
and specific suggestions for action offer a framework for this work. I highly recommend this book to
all Unitarian Universalist Congregations as a way to begin a conversation about how they can live up
to their religious principles and find ways that allow everyone to worship and attend services in
comfort.
