| Summary |
This book is designed to help psychology graduate students and psychologists determine their effectiveness in a reliable way and demonstrate their effectivenss to others. Traditional research methodology courses show students how to evaluate outcomes in a controlled experimental context. The author applies these same methods in a practice evaluation context, reinforcing research methods and providing critically needed tools for real-world practice. This book is a supplemental text for research methodology courses and a main text for seminars in professional practice and outcomes assessment.
