Single-Case Research Designs: Methods for Clinical and Applied Settings, 2nd Edition Paperback – 1 February 2010

This is an excellent text. Kazdin is a gifted writer and makes the concepts incredibly easy to understand. At times he can be a little bit repetitive, but I think this is beneficial in case you missed something the first time he said it. He does a great job of explaining the historical context of SSRD, strengths and weaknesses, variations, theoretical underpinnings, and comparisons with between-groups designs. I felt Kazdin’s approach to SSRD was unbiased and informative, which I appreciated. Definitely recommend.

Kazdin made understanding single-case design a breeze for this graduate student pursuing a degree in mental health and substance use disorder counseling. His writing style is that of a wonderful teacher - not bogged down with technical jargon, straight-forward, and yet very informative. I can say with confidence that I understand single-case research design after reading this. I don't usually review textbooks, because, well, what is the point? If you are a student, you are going to have to buy this book regardless. I just wanted any future student to know that you might actually learn something from this one - without pulling out your hair or crying profusely onto your homework assignments.

This book helped me tremendously in taking my ABA course. A wealth of information is provided about single case designs and almost everything I searched for I received plenty of information to clarify my questions.

This was essential reading for my graduate school course. It is a very dry text, though very informative on the essential components of single-case research. It was shipped very quickly through amazon. Thank you.

One of the best books on Single case designs, a very understandable language!
