Nathan H. Azrin (1930–2013) contributed extensively to the fields of experimental and applied behavior analysis. His creative and prolific research programs covered a wide range of experimental and applied areas that resulted in 160 articles and several books published over a period of almost 6 decades. As a result, his career illustrates an unparalleled example of translational work in behavior analysis, which has had a major impact not only within our field, but across disciplines and outside academia. In the current article we present a summary of Azrin’s wide ranging contributions in the areas of punishment, behavioral engineering, conditioned reinforcement and token economies, feeding disorders, toilet training, overcorrection, habit disorders, in-class behavior, job finding, marital therapy, and substance abuse. In addition, we use scientometric evidence to gain an insight on Azrin’s general approach to treatment evaluation and programmatic research. The analysis of Azrin’s approach to research, we believe, holds important lessons to behavior analysts today with an interest in the applied and translational sectors of our science.

Nathan H. Azrin (1930–2013) 在实验和应用行为分析领域做出了广泛贡献。他的创造性和多产的研究计划涵盖了广泛的实验和应用领域，在近 6 年的时间里发表了 160 篇文章和几本书。因此，他的职业生涯展示了行为分析转化工作的一个无与伦比的例子，它不仅在我们的领域内，而且在跨学科和学术界之外产生了重大影响。在当前的文章中，我们总结了 Azrin 在惩罚、行为工程、条件强化和象征性经济、喂养障碍、如厕训练、过度矫正、习惯障碍、课堂行为、找工作、婚姻治疗、和药物滥用。此外，我们使用科学计量学证据来深入了解 Azrin 治疗评估和计划研究的一般方法。我们相信，对 Azrin 研究方法的分析为当今对我们科学的应用和转化领域感兴趣的行为分析师提供了重要的教训。
