Mental health problems impose a staggering worldwide public health
burden. Regrettably, whereas many sciences have been progressing
for centuries (e.g., biology, chemistry) it is only recently that
the strategies of science have been applied to the field of
clinical psychology. At this relatively early stage in the science
of clinical psychology, the majority of work is ahead of us, and as
such the prepared investigator must be familiar with the full
portfolio of modern research strategies-a set of 'directions' for
getting from 'here' to 'there.' To continue to move the science of
clinical psychology forward, investigators benefit when they
systematically rely on research strategy "routes" that achieve
favorable balances between scientific rigor and clinical relevance.
With this need in mind, The Oxford Handbook of Research Strategies
for Clinical Psychology has recruited some of the field's foremost
experts to explicate the essential research strategies currently
used across the modern clinical psychology landscape that maximize
both precision and significance. Chapters in this volume address
design, measurement, and analytic strategies for clinical
psychology, including comprehensive coverage of: - effective
laboratory methods in experimental psychopathology, single-case
experimental designs, small pilot trials, the randomized controlled
trial, adaptive and modular treatment designs, and dissemination
methods and models - change measurement, observational coding,
measurement of process variables across treatment, structural and
functional brain imagining, and experience sampling data collection
methods - statistical power, correlation and regression, randomized
clinical trial data analysis, conventions in mediation and
moderation analysis, structural equation modeling, meta-analytic
techniques, item-response theory, and the appropriate handling of
missing data. The book concludes with an integrative summary of
research strategies addressed across the volume, and guidelines for
future directions in research methodology, design, and analysis
that will keep our young science moving forward in a manner that
maximizes scientific rigor and clinical relevance.
