সারসংক্ষেপ	Social functioning assessment evaluates how well a person performs the major social roles of everyday life — work or school, family and parenting, intimate and social relationships, and economic and community participation — and how satisfied they are with that performance. Building on the social-adjustment measurement tradition and instruments such as Weissman and Bothwell's Social Adjustment Scale, it gives social workers a structured, quantifiable account of psychosocial functioning that goes beyond symptoms to capture the person-in-environment outcomes at the heart of social work.	The standardized clinical cutoff approach, developed by Jacobson and Truax, judges whether an individual client's change on a standardized measure is both statistically reliable and clinically meaningful. It pairs a Reliable Change Index — which asks whether a pre-to-post change is larger than the measurement error of the instrument — with a cutoff score that marks the boundary between the dysfunctional and functional (normal) populations. A client who moves reliably across that cutoff is counted as recovered, giving practice and research a defensible, individual-level definition of meaningful improvement.
