title: Expanding the single-case study: a proposed psychoanalytic research program.
abstract: This paper offers a proposed program of research using single-case time-series methods that can be used by practicing clinicians. The paper is written for psychodynamically oriented clinicians who want to get involved in psychotherapy research and make contributions to the scientific literature. How to measure treatment outcomes and psychodynamic constructs are discussed. With few exceptions, conducting single-case time-series research using psychodynamic psychotherapy has far more advantages than disadvantages.
