This text is intended for students and practitioners in a variety of disciplines—including psychology, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy—who are increasingly called upon to document the effectiveness of interventions.
A very good book for those students interested in thinking about Single Case Research Design in their clinical healthcare practice. Informative and clear.
Accessible and comprehensive discussion of designs
This is a book that enlighten the single-case design very well. Easy to read and understand.
I will use this as additional reading.
A great book, but would be viewed as additional reading rather than part of the recommended reading list. We may adopt it later once qualitative methodologies are included in the course.
Good overview of SSR
