“…Given the implications of the various sources of information on treatment, it is relevant to investigate the perceptions of multiple informers about the effects of psychotherapy. The research and systematic publication of these perceptions are vital to establishing evidence-based treatments, taking into account the growing academic and social demand for clinicians to conduct research that informs their practice (Hott et al, 2015).…”

When psychopathology is considered as a developmental phenomenon, the data on child psychotherapy must be of interest to all therapists. The aim of this study was to assess the results of psychodynamic psychotherapy in a child with internalizing symptoms using data obtained from the patient, her mother, her teacher and her psychotherapist. A systematic single case study was performed. The data were obtained using the following tools: interviews, the Rorschach Method, the Child Behaviour Check List for Children and Adolescents, the Teachers Report Form and questionnaires completed by the patient's mother and therapist. The psychotherapeutic treatment lasted for 40 sessions and the patient was 8 years old at the start of therapy. She presented with head and stomach aches after the sudden death of her father, as well as difficulty adapting to her new school. The Rorschach results indicated improvement in cognitive triad variables, interpersonal relations and expressing affection. Data from the patient, mother and therapist converged to yield the clinical picture of a more spontaneous girl, dealing better with her feelings and more socially integrated. This points to the importance of using mixed methods to assess psychotherapies and of consulting multiple informants.

“…The behavior to be observed has to be operatively defined providing examples and counterexamples of human actions that will or will not be counted as instances of the target behavior. IOA has to be assessed for at least 20% of the observational sessions and the exact quantification depends on the observational procedure followed (Hott, Limberg, Ohrt, & Schmit, 2015). IOA has to be reported both as an average and a range and the authors should be aware of the minimal standards: 80% percentage agreement and 60% Cohen's kappa (Horner et al, 2005).…”

The current text provides advice on the content of an article reporting a single-case design research. The advice is drawn from several sources, such as the Single-case research in behavioral sciences reporting guidelines, developed by an international panel of experts, scholarly articles on reporting, methodological quality scales, and the author's professional experience. The indications provided on the Introduction, Discussion, and Abstract are very general and applicable to many instances of applied psychological research across domains. In contrast, more space is dedicated to the Method and Results sections, on the basis of the peculiarities of single-case designs methodology and the complications in term s of data analysis. Specifically, regarding the Method, several aspects strengthening (or allowing the assessment of) the internal validity are underlined, as well as information relevant for evaluating the possibility to generalize the results. Regarding the Results, the focus is put on justifying the analytical approach followed. The author considers that, even if a study does not meet methodological quality standards, it should include sufficiently explicit reporting that makes possible assessing its methodological quality. The importance of reporting all data gathered, including unexpected and undesired results, is also highlighted. Finally, a checklist is provided as a summary of the reporting tips.

“…Baseline data are instrumental in establishing measurable goals, and visual analysis is both an efficient and effective method for monitoring response to treatment. Indeed, behavioral interventions, once in place, should be continually monitored for effectiveness, and the most pragmatic way for doing this is via visual inspection of data (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, ), assessing target‐client responsiveness when a treatment is introduced (see Holt, Limberg, Ohrt, & Schmit, ; Kennedy, ; Kratochwill et al., ; Kratochwill, Levin, Horner, & Swoboda, , for review).…”

“…Information presented within this substage is the most amenable to graphical displays. Frequency data collected by classroom staff, interval observation data, and functional analysis data can be arranged in line or bar graphs and can later be used to make treatment decisions (see Holt et al., ). Daily data and interval observation data can be used as baseline data that, when combined with data collected during intervention, can be used to monitor treatment effects.…”

School-based practitioners are to implement and report functional behavior assessments (FBAs) that are consistent with both the research literature and the law, both federal and state. However, the literature regarding how best to document the FBA process is underdeveloped. A review of applied behavior analytic and school psychology literature as well as legislation and case law informs FBA reporting practices regarding (a) required content, (b) graphing of data, (c) organization of reports, and (d) clarity of language. The purpose of FBA reports is discussed, and this discussion explicitly informs the use of a solution-focused approach to improve clarity in report writing. Recommendations for best practices in FBA report writing are provided, and future research needs are highlighted. C 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
