Although the flow and sequence of the research process underlies the selection of the many highly readable articles in this book, editor Alan E. Kazdin has selected readings illustrating that the diverse facets of design are integrally related at the outset -- that is, that they emerge when the study is conceived.
In this second edition of Methodological Issues and Strategies, Kazdin has included many articles that expand upon core concepts, reflect contemporary issues in research, and elaborate on theresearcher's ethical responsibilities. Such additions include articles on mediators and moderators, on methods for studying the efficacy and effectiveness of psychotherapy, on making research relevant to clinical practice and policy, and on the oversight of research by committees that review scientific merit and ethical practices.
