Write a review
Written in an accessible, conversational style, Single-Case Research Methods for the Behavioral and Health Sciences introduces readers to the history, epistemology, and strategies of single-case research design. It offers concrete information on how to observe, measure, and interpret change in relevant outcome variables and how to design strategies that promote causal inferences.
Using an integrated case study approach, the book begins with the underlying logic of single-case (and its relations to applied behaviour analysis) designs, specific design strategies and tactics, data presentation and interpretation, and the general advantages of single-subject research for those working in applied settings - particularly courses in psychology, social work, counseling and therapy, nursing, and related human services and allied health sciences.
