Abstract
This article fakes issue with Rubin and Knox on three main points: (1) misrepresentation of single-case experimental designs; (2) logical in consistencies; and (3) skewed portrayal of weaknesses existing in sing le-case designs. Possible reasons why single-case experimental designs are often misinterpreted in the social work literature are also discu ssed.
