Abstract
Treatment-focused research is concerned with the establishment of the comparative efficacy and effectiveness of clinical interventions, aggr egated over groups of patients. The authors introduce and illustrate a new paradigm-patient-focused research-that is concerned with the moni toring of an individual's progress over the course of treatment and th e feedback of this information to the practitioner, supervisor, or cas e manager.
