Shock
 

The practice of using electric shock in behavioral treatment (other than ECT, which is never administered by behavior analysts as it is far beyond their scope of competence) has been contrary to Virginia statues for many years.  It is not used here.  One wonders why, again, in numerous "rebuttals," the commenter brings up matters not occurring in Virginia to persuade the Board of Medicine on a decision regarding conduct of professionals within Virginia.
