title: A time-referenced Q-sort technique for evaluating behavioral change.
abstract: The behavior of children in residential and day treatment centers alters over time in ways that can be documented objectively. This paper describes a method, field tested with 50 subjects in five agencies, in which observations of behavior are converted into quantitative indices of adjustment to yield a profile of change for each subject.
