Abstract
In Chapter 3 we discussed strategies for increasing the validity of clinical judgments. Many of these strategies can be considered as exemplars of a scholarly approach to clinical assessment and judgment, such as the use of validated assessment instruments to aid clinical judgments. In this chapter we examine in more detail several interrelated methodological aspects of the behavioral assessment paradigm: (1) a scholarly, empirically based approach to psychological assessment, (2) a hypothesis-testing approach to psychological assessment, and (3) the use of time-series measurement strategies in clinical assessment.
