NASW Press Releases Single-Case Design for Clinical Social Workers, 2nd Edition

Washington – The NASW Press is pleased to release Single-Case Design for Clinical Social Workers, 2nd Edition, a follow up to A Primer on Single-Subject Design for Clinical Social Workers. This 2nd edition focuses on a single unit of analysis, such as an individual, a couple, a family or a group, rather than a single-case design over a single-subject.

Single-Case Design for Clinical Social Workers, 2nd Edition introduces single-case design methodology to clinical social workers, students and field supervisors. This book captures every step of the single-case design methodology from assessment and problem formulation to follow-up. It is an excellent resource for any prospective or practicing clinical social worker who seeks to enhance a client’s well being and social functioning.

The user-friendly approach of the book reflects contemporary developments in practice research, responds to the needs for textbooks on single-case design methodology that incorporate practice-relevant exercises, and provides educators with practical tools (case vignettes and data) for teaching the methodology. The book is a valuable resource for schools to meet CSWE-accreditation standards requiring accredited institutions to train undergraduate and graduate students in practice evaluation methods.

Dr. Jennifer Di Noia is an associate research scientist at Columbia University School of Social Work. She has been teaching a course on clinical practice evaluation to graduate social work students for the past 10 years and has published numerous intervention outcome studies. Dr. Tony Tripodi is dean and professor emeritus at the Ohio State University College of Social Work and was the visiting Moses Professor at Hunter College School of Social Work (2006-2007). He has published extensively on program evaluation, research methodology and research utilization.
