Abstract
The author describes a study designed to assess the therapeutic reactive effects of filling out subjective self-ratings administered during a period of psychodynamic clinical social work intervention. A summary of quantitative findings related to outcome is followed by a more detailed presentation of anecdotal findings related to the impact of subjective measures on the intervention process. Results are considered in terms of their implications for social work's current interest in single-system designs and the challenges of applying these designs to nonbehavioral practice.Keywords
