Booknews

Explains to students and practitioners in behavioral health how to incorporate research and scientific principles into their daily work. Discusses such aspects as current research strategies, time-series methodology, production and consumption of clinical repetition series, program evaluation, self-report and physiological measures, and direct observation and self-monitoring. The 1984 edition is here updated to account for the industrialization and privatization of health care and the concomitant pressure to find the most effective, efficient, and profitable treatments.
