“…The development of a compendium of ABO assessment methods would help with accessibility, as would systematic integration of material on clinical uses of observation into assessment training curricula for mental health professionals. Another way to make observational assessments such as ABO more accessible to clinicians would be to set up an observational assessment infrastructure outside the clinic setting by developing assessment laboratories or assessment centers' that operate in a manner similar to medical laboratories (Groth-Marnat, 2000;Mash, 1991;Mash & Barkley, 1986;Mash & Hunsley, 1993a, 1993b. Medicine accepts the need for lab tests requiring sophisticated resources, personnel, and equipment (e.g., blood tests, magnetic resonance imaging scans).…”

The special section on analogue behavioral observation (ABO) provided an in-depth review of various ABO assessment procedures. Despite their availability, however, these procedures are rarely used in clinical practice. This may result in part from the traditions on which most ABO assessments are based, from distinctions between clinical and research assessment environments, and from the need for more information about the cost-effectiveness of ABO strategies for meeting specific needs of clinicians in applied settings. Suggestions for bridging the research-clinical gap involve investigating more thoroughly when ABO does and does not provide useful information for various purposes in applied settings and increasing accessibility and cost-effectiveness of ABO procedures for practitioners.

“…Four variables that may influence treatment effects are age, gender, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity. Accurate records of these variables, in and of itself, would provide useful information about whom the program serves, and with what degree of efficacy (Mash & Hunsley, 1993).…”

“…A renewed impetus toward measuring clinical outcomes arises from the need to contain medical costs. Mash and Hunsley (1993) noted that managed mental health care and behavior therapy endorse similar goals such as individual responsibility, focus on wellness, and time-limited interventions. Both favor accountability through clearly defined treatment goals, therapy methods, outcome measures, and the use of assessment to improve clinical practice.…”

Psychological therapy based on cognitive science advances as psychological states can be precisely measured. This article describes a treatment approach, personal quality improvement (PQI), that draws on (a) the states of mind (SOM) model, a mathematical model built on cognitive assessment research on the balance of positive and negative thoughts and feelings; (b) total quality control, a method for improving quality as defined by increased system stability by empowering average workers to reduce variability through process monitoring; and (c) the phase model of psychotherapy, a framework that proposes 3 distinct stages of treatment. In a single-case study, a depressed client used PQI to track emotional, self-image, and optimism balance, achieving an improvement trajectory consistent with the SOM and phase models. PQI emphasizes process, uses a patient focused treatment paradigm that provides tools for autonomous functioning, and allows for calibration of psychological measures.
