Abstract

Social work research and practice has a profound interest in the question of “what works”, which is often addressed by the evidence paradigm with its focus on measuring the effects of social interventions and driven by increasing demands to demonstrate impact and effectiveness. However, measuring effects, both short or long-term, can be difficult when dealing with “wicked problems”, and controlled trials are rarely ethically or methodologically feasible. This dilemma is evident in counseling research and practice.
