“…Like developmental processes, intentional intervention processes may generate structural organizational change that is discontinuous and transformational (e.g., Granic, 2005;Granic, Hollenstein, Dishion, & Patterson, 2003;Greenberg, Rice, & Elliott, 1996;Hayes, Laurenceau, Feldman, Strauss, & Cardaciotto, 2007;Hayes & Strauss, 1998;Mahoney, 1991) and also marked by variability along a number of behavioral dimensions, including problem outcomes (Hayes & Strauss, 1998;Mahoney, 1991). Granic and Patterson (2006) suggest that interventions may more efficiently access and manipulate mechanisms of change by strategically targeting the transformations that occur during normative developmental transitions when development is "strongly influenced by small effects" (Lewis, 2000, p. 39).…”
