Typologies in social work practice.

Two examples of diagnostic-intervention typologies are presented as derived from case record review. A multidimensional classification combines the origin, location, and identification (via family diagnosis) of children's "behavior problems" with treatment strategies for each of the six types. In the second example, a prescriptive typology of families with a newly diagnosed retarded child draws upon family and crisis theories to help define problem areas of family functioning. The typologies are suggested as tools but not stereotypes for clinical social work practice.

Sample bias in patient evaluation of hospital social services.

An exploration of methodology for a follow-up system focusing on hospital patients who received social services identified significant problems of sample bias in the respondent group. Implications are raised for administrative utilization of this type of biased findings in evaluation of the effectiveness of social services, and for implementation of an ongoing system to collect evaluative data. Standardized patient follow-up by mail was judged to be a feasible means of obtaining this data which may, even under optimum response rates, offer difficulty for generalizing and assessing validity.
