Abstract

Rigorous experimental research examining the effectiveness of practice interventions rarely appears in the social work literature. Among the reasons often cited are the difficulties of conducting such research, and the lack of adequate preparation in social work education. Translating the goals of outcome-oriented research into successful educational models is easier said than done. This paper describes a partial application of Rothman and Thomas' innovative work on intervention research in doctoral curriculum, emphasizing the elements of design and development. The adaptation is illustrated through a series of studies examining the effectiveness of meditation on psychosocial functioning.
