Abstract
Abstract The authors implemented an A–B–A single-case research design to explore the degree of effectiveness of a 12-session Collaborative Language System intervention with adult clients (N = 7; age between 23 and 62; both males and females, ethnicity including African American, White, and Hispanic American) for improving overall well-being, general psychopathology, and symptomatology in 2 community counseling clinics. Analysis of participants’ scores on both Outcome Rating Scale and Symptom Checklist–27–Plus indicated that 4 participants exhibited improvement during intervention and 2 out of 4 participants maintained improvement following the completion of counseling. Results suggest aspects of the collaborative language systems approach were beneficial for the treatment of symptoms associated with depression and anxiety as well as improving overall well-being.

It addresses topics such as: treatment efficacy, clinical diagnosis, program evaluation, research design, outcome measure reviews. This journal also serves to address ethical, legal, and cultural concerns in the assessment of dependent variables, implementation of clinical interventions, and outcome research. Manuscripts typically fall into one of the following categories: Counseling Outcome Research: Treatment efficacy and effectiveness of mental health, school, addictions, rehabilitation, family, and college counseling interventions across the lifespan as reported in clinical trials, single-case research designs, single-group designs, and multi- or mixed-method designs.
