In this article, I outline hermeneutic single-case efficacy design (HSCED), an interpretive approach to evaluating treatment causality in single therapy cases. This approach uses a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods to create a network of evidence that first identifies direct demonstrations of causal links between therapy process and outcome and then evaluates plausible nontherapy explanations for apparent change in therapy. I illustrate the method with data from a depressed client who presented with unresolved loss and anger issues.
在本文中，我概述了阐释性单病例疗效设计（HSCED），这是一种评估单一疗法病例中治疗因果关系的解释性方法。该方法结合了定量和定性方法，创建了一个证据网络，首先确定治疗过程和结果之间因果关系的直接证据，然后评估治疗中明显变化的可能非治疗解释。我用一位有未解决的失落和愤怒问题的抑郁患者的数据来说明该方法。
