Neal Fleisig, M.S., BCBA, has over a sixteen years of experience in treating children and adults who exhibit severely aggressive and self-injurious behavior. He is the Executive Director of the Professional Crisis Management Association, and author of Professional Crisis Management

Mr. Fleisig received his B.A. in psychology at George Washington University, Washington, D.C., and his Master's Degree in psychology from Nova University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Furthermore Mr. Fleisig has specialized expertise with individual, group, classroom and school-wide behavior management procedures. Mr. Fleisig is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. He is also trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback techniques and has worked as a clinical therapist for a number of years. Mr. Fleisig serves as a consultant to hospitals, schools, and community based facilities that work with individuals who exhibit severe aggressive and self-injurious behavior.

Mr. Fleisig is an accomplished martial arts expert. He has trained in Tai Chi Chuan, the Chinese soft art of self-defense and he holds a black belt in Japanese Karate. He has trained overseas and has competed at the national level in the United States. These combined experiences have provided Mr. Fleisig with a unique blend of highly refined skills in body mechanics and movement. In addition, his training has resulted in a heightened sensitivity to issues that emerge when one individual physically intervenes with another.

One of the hallmarks of Professional Crisis Management is that it does not involve the use of pain to control or de-escalate aggressive behavior. All of the procedures in the system have been carefully developed and selected so as to avoid joint manipulation or awkward positioning. Professional Crisis Management procedures are eloquent in terms of body mechanics and are all physically "painless." Nevertheless, the procedures are powerful and effective and sufficient to contain and control even the most dangerous behaviors. Importantly, Mr. Fleisig has structured the procedures so the individuals of both sexes, and with small or large body size, can be taught to correctly execute the techniques.

Professional Crisis Management was completed and copyrighted in 1984. It is the product of over 16 years of research and development. During the last ten years, Mr. Fleisig has conducted hundreds of training seminars in Professional Crisis Management.
