• its relation to ethics and the law
• conceptual models, assessment, promotion, and application
• conceptual models of treatment integrity in the fields of medicine, prevention science, and health psychology
• assessment of treatment integrity itself
• how a conceptual model can inform the development of a comprehensive treatment integrity assessment system
• its use in practice and research in education and psychology Authoritative and up to date, this volume is a unique resource for all professionals supervising, providing, or evaluating intervention services, including researchers and practitioners in clinical, counseling, and school psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; social work; communication disorders; special and general education; program evaluation; and educational leadership.
