Abstract

The epistemological and methodological underpinnings of task analysis are discussed and the steps and concrete procedures for its implementation are described and exemplified in a task analysis of the resolution of unfinished business. Task analysis, a method for studying the process of change, consists of two main phases: a discovery-oriented phase based on rational–empirical model building and a validation phase based on hypothesis testing. The goals of the approach are to (a) build an observationally based model of how therapeutic change occurs for a particular type of affective–cognitive problem, (b) validate the model of change, and (c) relate the process of change to outcome. Benefits and strengths of the approach are presented and factors that have impeded the use of this approach in the study of change processes are discussed.

  • A complete task analysis consists of two phases: a discovery phase and a validation phase.

    “Usually, a complete task analysis consists of two phases: (a) a discovery phase, in which both rational and empirical methods are used to build a model of how a given therapeutic task is effectively performed; and (b) a validation phase that will test and validate the discovered model (Greenberg,2007).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
