Hersen M, Barlow DH. Single case experimental designs: strategies for studying behaviour change. New York: Pergamon, 1976. This is a useful book for additional reading in the area of single-case experimental approaches. It is, however, rather lengthy in its descriptions of the theory rather than the practicalities of carrying out such research.
