Abstract
This invited article takes the opportunity occasioned by the approach of the millennium to look both backward and forward at the ills and the achievements of social work as a profession, at the changing political context in which we work, and at the successes and failures brought about by attempts to put the question of the worth of what we do beyond ideology through empirical research—in particular, through controlled experiments.Keywords
