The authors implemented a small, A‐B‐A single‐case research design ( n = 3) to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive behavior counseling intervention for offenders with mental illness who were incarcerated in a large correctional facility. Visual and nonoverlap analyses revealed that the intervention was within the effective to very effective range for decreasing psychiatric symptoms for 2 of the participants; 1 participant showed little change throughout treatment. Implications for program development and evaluation are discussed.
