Single-Case Design for Clinical Social Workers incorporates the paradigm shift to single-case design over single-subject or single system design to focus on a single unit of analysis, that is, an individual, a couple, a family, or a group. The purpose of this text is to introduce single-case design methodology to clinical social workers, students, and field supervisors.
Tripodi and Di Noia have captured every step of the single-case design methodology from assessment and problem formulation to follow-up. The use of definitions, measurement scales, charting and graphing, guidelines, and questionnaires in this text makes it a paramount resource for any prospective or practicing clinical social worker interested in the enhancement of their clients' well-being and social functioning.

About the Authors
The purpose of this book is to provide for clinical social workers an introduction to the use of single-case design in clinical practice. The book shows how this methodology can serve as a frame of reference for making clinical decisions relevant to assessment, implementation, and evaluation of treatment and client follow-up through the use of statistical procedures and graphic analysis. The utility of single-case design is illustrated in a variety of clinical situations.
This book also was written for social work students and their supervisors in field practice so that the accreditation standards for evaluating a worker’s practice, established by the Council on Social Work Education, can be adequately implemented.
We wish to acknowledge colleagues and students at Columbia University School of Social Work, University of Michigan, University of Pittsburgh, and Florida International University for their discussions of the topic of single-case design. Many thanks to students enrolled in the fall 2005 Clinical Case Evaluation course at Columbia University School of Social Work for reviewing drafts of the manuscript and providing responsive feedback.

This densely packed yet tightly written volume explores the varieties of single-case designs, their different uses, and the arguments for and against different evaluation pathways.... Ultimately, much of what Drs. Di Noia and Tripodi write about will become incorporated into what is considered "best practices." For their view of quality, goal-oriented, information-driven practice, fully attuned to consumer feedback and applied in a manner consistent with the core values of social work, we are in the authors' debt.
