Support for goal setting and attainment is a frequent component of social work interventions aimed at fostering client growth. This study investigated goal setting and attainment in the Michigan Supported Education Research Project, an intervention that provides support for adults with psychiatric disabilities to engage in postsecondary education. Results indicate increased complexity of goal statements over time. Interventions can influence the goals that are set by individuals. Because of its importance to social work practice, researchers and practitioners should pay more explicit attention to goal setting.
