"No topic has remained as critical to social work and the human services for three
decades as the issue of measuring outcomes. The contributors to this superb volume explain
why such evaluation is so crucial, how it can be accomplished successfully, and why it
requires considerable professional thought and skill to do well."Stuart

"The future of our work will depend on our ability to specify and measure the
outcomes of practice. This book is a comprehensive examination of the theory and
technology of outcomes measurement by leading developers and critics. It will become the
foundation of ongoing work."

"Measuring the results of interventions is an essential component of practice
today. Outcomes Measurement combines outstanding scholarship and practice-based
information to help the practitioner master a task that can be difficult and
time-consuming."
