The Abuse and Neglect of Single-Case Designs

Mark A. Mattaini

Columbia University

Rubin and Knox argue that single-case designs are currently overemphasized in social work education and are of more limited value in practice than is commonly stated. These conclusions are based on confusions between research and practice, misunderstandings and misstatements of the relative utility of single-case and group designs for both, and neglect of the basic literature regarding single-case designs and visual analysis. In addition, the Rubin and Knox arguments appear to be based on overinterpretation of the results of a study of an ineffective intervention.
