Single Case Experimental Designs 3/e
Single Case Experimental Designs is a sourcebook that provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the use of single case experimental designs, offering practical guidelines for their use in a range of research and clinical settings. The Third Edition incorporates new examples of single case experiments that highlight recent methodological innovations and extensions.
Written in a non-technical style, this book is accessible to individuals from a range of backgrounds including advanced undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, and mental health practitioners – as well as to those working from a wide range of perspectives, including clinical, educational or school psychology, social work, psychiatry, nursing, and other fields focused on human behavior change.
Pearson’s MySearchLab is the easiest way for students to master a writing or research project. In a recent student survey, the overwhelming majority of students are assigned writing and research projects, for which they would use research and citation tools if they were available to them. MySearchLab is a website available at no additional charge in a package with a Pearson textbook and is also available as a standalone product.
