Single-Case Methods in Clinical Psychology: A Practical Guide
provides a concise and easily-accessible introduction to
single-case research. This is a timely response to the increasing
awareness of the need to look beyond randomised controlled trials
for evidence to support best practice in applied psychology. The
book covers the issues of design, the reliability and validity of
measurement, and provides guidance on how to analyse single-case
data using both visual and statistical methods. Single-case designs
can be used to investigate an individual's response to
psychological intervention, as well as to contribute to larger
scale research projects. This book illuminates the common
principles behind these uses. It describes how standardised
measures can be used to evaluate change in an individual and how to
develop idiographic measures that are tailored to the needs of an
individual. The issue of replication and generalising beyond an
individual are examined, and the book also includes a section on
the meta-analysis of single-case data. The critical evaluation of
single-case research is examined, from both the perspective of
developing quality standards to evaluate research and maintaining a
critical distance in reviewing one's own work. Single Case Methods
in Clinical Psychology will provide invaluable guidance to
postgraduate psychologists training to enter the professions of
clinical, health and counselling psychology and is likely to become
a core text on many courses. It will also appeal to clinicians
seeking to answer questions about the effectiveness of therapy in
individual cases and who wish to use the method to further the
evidence-base for specific psychological interventions.
