Author Description

"Evaluating Outcomes is designed to help psychologists and related service providers determine their effectiveness in a reliable way and demonstrate that effectiveness to others. John D. Cone provides readers with the empirical tools that they need to evaluate outcomes effectively in their everyday practices with clients, whether those clients are individuals, families, groups, or organizations. Traditional research methodology courses show students how to evaluate outcomes in a controlled experimental context. Cone applies these same methods in a practice evaluation context, reinforcing research methods and providing critically needed tools for real-world practice. Thus, this book is destined to be a highly useful supplemental text for research methodology courses and a main text for seminars in professional practice and outcomes assessment."--BOOK JACKET.
