About the Book

A guide to efficient measurement and graphing of behavioural outcomes, and the use of results in clinical decision-making. The authors, all clinical psychologists, describe how the `continuous' measurement of outcomes can document clinical results and provide practical methods for clinicians to routinely obtain and use credible, precise data. They provide numerous clinical examples that illustrate how behavioural health outcomes can be measured directly and simply.
