About this book

Here is an efficient guide to measuring and graphing behavioral outcomes, and letting the results influence clinical decisions. The authors, all clinical psychologists, describe how the `continuous' measurement of outcomes can document clinical results and provide practical methods for clinicians to routinely get and use credible, precise data. They provide numerous clinical examples that illustrate how behavioral health outcomes can be measured directly and simply.

Reviews

`...the book is an excellent addition to the field. It surpasses other efforts of a similar nature in its readability, its comprehensiveness, and its vitality. My recommendation to all readers- read it and use it; you will love it!'
Saul Axelrod, Temple University
