“…Because case study research accounts for the context of the client and the therapy and a range of factors which impact on the case outcome, and incorporates both quantitative and qualitative data, it is an approach which is highly congruent with and relevant to the philosophy and approach of TA therapy (see Widdowson, 2011a). …”

Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design (HSCED) is a systematic case study research method involving the cross-examination of mixed method data to generate both plausible arguments that the client changed due to therapy and alternative explanations. The present study uses HSCED to investigate the outcome of short-term TA psychotherapy with a young man with severe depression. The objective of the research was to investigate the effectiveness of short-term TA therapy for the treatment of depression and to explore and identify key aspects of the TA therapy process and associated factors promoting change amongst effective cases. To enhance rigour and to address potential for researcher allegiance, independent psychotherapy researchers have adjudicated the case and offer a verdict on outcome. The conclusion of the adjudicators is that the client changed considerably-substantially, and that these changes were substantially due to the effect of therapy.The author provides detailed appendices to encourage others to replicate the research and add to the body of knowledge based on the HSCED process.

“…Sachs-Ericsson et al (2006) also noted a relationship between parental verbal abuse and selfcriticism and internalizing symptoms -a factor which appears to have been relevant in Tom's case. Within a TA framework, self-criticism tends to be viewed as a negative internal dialogue between Parent and Child ego states (Berne, 1972;Goulding & Goulding, 1979;Woollams & Brown, 1979;Stewart & Joines, 1987;Clarkson, 1992;Widdowson, 2010) Method Participants Client Tom was a 38 year old white British builder, who presented for private, weekly TA psychotherapy. Contrary to what one might expect from his tall, muscular build, he described feeling anxious and intimidated socially and feeling very down.…”

Hermeneutic Single-Case Efficacy Design (HSCED) is a systematic case study research method involving the cross-examination of mixed method data to generate both plausible arguments that the client changed due to therapy and alternative explanations. The present study uses HSCED to investigate the outcome of shortterm TA psychotherapy with a man with moderate depression and comorbid social anxiety The objective of the research was to investigate the effectiveness of short-term TA therapy for the treatment of depression and to explore and identify key aspects of the TA therapy process and associated factors promoting change amongst effective cases. To enhance rigour and address potential for researcher allegiance, independent psychotherapy researchers have adjudicated the case and offer a verdict on outcome. The majority verdict of two judges in this case was that this was a positive outcome case and that the client had changed substantially and that these changes were substantially due to the effects of therapy.The third judge's conclusion was that this was a mixed outcome case, and that the client had changed considerably and that this had been considerably due to therapy. This is the 3 rd case reported on and additional rigour was introduced into the HSCED approach in the same way as reported in the accompanying paper about the 2 nd case.

“…The case study method enables this study to investigate the crisis situation in a real-time context with the help of multiple sources (Widdowson, 2011), which will, in turn, illuminate the best public relations practices for enabling the control of messages during a crisis as a means of maintaining an organization's reputation and image within its industry. Carnival's cruise crisis triggered criticism and led to a surge of two-way communication on social media among passengers, the general public, and the company.…”
