Case Study
– Exploration of a case (or multiple cases) over time. By
case, we are referring to a “bounded system”—which
is bounded by time and place.
– A case can be a program, an event, an activity, or an
individual(s).
– Emphasis is on in-depth understanding of the case, or a
comparison of several cases.
– Most commonly case studies are used to describe
clients within social service systems and circumstances
related to the client’s condition.
