The Therapeutic Assessment (TA) model is a relatively new treatment approach that fuses assessment and psychotherapy. The study examines the efficacy of this model with preadolescent boys with oppositional defiant disorder and their families. A replicated single-case time-series design with daily measures is used to assess the effects of TA and to track the process of change as it unfolds. All 3 families benefitted from participation in TA across multiple domains of functioning, but the way in which change unfolded was unique for each family. These findings are substantiated by the Behavior Assessment System for Children (Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2004). The TA model is shown to be an effective treatment for preadolescent boys with oppositional defiant disorder and their families. Further, the time-series design of this study illustrated how this empirically grounded case-based methodology reveals when and how change unfolds during treatment in a way that is usually not possible with other research designs.
治疗性评估（TA）模型是一种相对较新的治疗方法，它将评估和心理治疗融合在一起。本研究考察了该模型对具有对立违抗性障碍的青春期前男孩及其家庭的疗效。采用复制的单一案例时间序列设计和每日测量来评估 TA 的效果，并跟踪变化的过程。所有 3 个家庭都从 TA 的参与中受益于多个功能领域，但变化的展开方式对每个家庭都是独特的。这些发现得到了《儿童行为评估系统》（Reynolds & Kamphaus，2004）的支持。TA 模型被证明是一种治疗对立违抗性障碍的青春期前男孩及其家庭的有效方法。此外，本研究的时间序列设计说明了这种基于实证的基于案例的方法如何在治疗过程中揭示变化发生的时间和方式，这在其他研究设计中通常是不可能的。
