This is not what we wanted: Designing for Conversation With Voice Interfaces
Design is increasingly said to be about constructing conversations with end users [1]. Advances in underlying voice-related [2] technologies, coupled with the spread of voice-driven agents and dedicated devices such as the Amazon Echo, Google Home, and HomePod, lend weight to the notion of so-called conversational interfaces. In spite of the hyped anticipation of an AI-powered future, however, it is not always clear how the vision of conversation…
Empirically-Based Practice: The End of Ideology
This paper reviews developments in the empirically based practice perspective over the past decade. The paper focuses on three major areas: epistemology and knowledge development in social work, availability of more precise framework for practice and evidence of effectiveness of many clinical techniques, and new developments in research and computer technology. The paper concludes that the empirically-based practice model seems well-positioned to…
The Effects of Physical Attractiveness on Clinical Judgments

Subjects completed questionnaires containing vignettes experimentally manipulating the two client characteristics. Subjects were randomly assigned one of the vignettes and completed two separate rating scales. The data analysis reveal…

Does Anything Work
This paper reviews the results of effectiveness research in five areas of professional practice: social work, psychotherapy and counseling, corrections, psychiatric hospitalization, and education. In all these areas the research indicates that, at best, professionals are operating with little or no empirical evidence validating their efforts, since lack of effectiveness was the rule rather than the exception. In addition, a pattern of deteriorati…
Clinicians' attitudes toward and use of four body contact or sexual techniques with clients
A sample of 46 private practitioners in psychiatry, psychology, social work, and marriage and family counseling practicing in Hawaii responded to an anonymous questionnaire designed to elicit their attitudes toward and use of the following techniques with clients: nonerotic contact, explicit sexual contact, sexual intercourse with clients, and partner surrogates. Sexual problems were found to be widespread among the clinicians' clientele. Results…
Written Indicators of Empathy in Human-Relations Training: A Validational Study
This study was conducted to determine if empathic level of functioning as assessed by written measures is predictive of oral functioning. Forty participants, run in four groups with counterbalanced order, responded in writing and orally to stimulus statements.Correlations between oral and written scores were very high and statistically significant for the total sample and the high- and low-functioning subgroups. Only very small differences were f…
The Validity of the Personal Orientation Inventory for Measuring the Effects of Training for Therapeutic Practice
The present study examines the effects of training counselors for the core therapeutic conditions of empathy, warmth, and genuineness in terms of increased levels of actualizing as measured by the Personal Orientation Inventory. Findings revealed significant differences between the experimental group and the contrast and control groups on the major Inner Directed scale and significant positive pretest to posttest changes for the experimental grou…

A Framework for the Analysis and Comparison of Clinical Theories of Induced Change
This paper proposes a framework for the analysis of one important source of social work knowledge: clinical theories of induced change. Criteria for analysis are grouped into five categories: (a) structural characteristics of the theory; (b) characteristics as a theory of therapy; (c) empirical status; (d) assumptions and moral implications; and (e) applicability for social work
