    I used this book almost exclusively for one of my candidacy exam questions in an applied behaviora analysis doctoral program. I had been a bit sketchy on research methodology and felt I needed to bone up on it, so I asked one of my committee members to consider that as a topic and to give me several references from which to study. She recommended Johnston & Pennypacker’s Strategies and Tactics of Behavioral Research (1993), Murray Sidman’s classic Tactics of Scientific Research (1960), and this one. I had used both the other texts in a class I had, and I knew them to be readable but dense. I started with this one when I began studying for my exam, and it’s really the only one I used. Kazdin’s language is clear and reader-friendly, especially useful for me being new to research in general, let alone single subject research. Kazdin uses plenty of illustrations, both verbal and graphic, so his explanations are even further clarified. I don’t think I can say enough except that this is a great resource on the subject of single subject design.

    This is one of very few textbooks that I won’t be selling back. Every page is loaded with information, yet it is an easy read. Everything is written in way that is easy to understand.
