Article Abstract

From our regular book review column.

This slim volume packs a lot of information and insight into its 118 pages. The book is designed to help nonscientists understand the need for outcome measurement and evaluation. Its nontechnical approach should help administrators, policy makers, and funders make decisions about how to measure the outcomes of their mental health services.
