Tiivistelmä	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.	Strengths assessment is a structured way of assessing a client that deliberately foregrounds capabilities, resources, and aspirations rather than deficits and problems. Grounded in the strengths perspective articulated by Dennis Saleebey and operationalized in Charles Rapp and Richard Goscha's strengths model, it surveys the client's life domains — such as daily living, health, finances, relationships, leisure, and spirituality — to record what is already working, what the person wants, and the personal and environmental resources available to get there. Those strengths then become the raw material for goal-setting and intervention.
