Abstract
The evaluation of social work practice is distinguished from most other research, in a way that its purposes and “treatment” are different from others. This paper illustrates why experimentation does not often serve the purposes of social work evaluation and refutes the conventional viewpoint that programme evaluation has the same general design as an experiment in the natural science.
