Abstract
Despite social work's commitment to a person-in-situation framework, the social work literature contains a client-blaming bias. This bias is particularly evident in recent research on practice effectiveness. The findings of the authors' survey of this research shows that problems were often defined in person-centered terms and that person-centered measures of outcome were frequently used.Keywords
