The second wave of the women's liberation movement has challenged traditional assumptions and understandings of women's experiences by promoting a "new scholarship" on women. This expanding interest in women has influenced the social work profession, but not to the extent one might expect in a field dominated by women both as professionals and clients. Feminism, as an ideology, practice perspective, and ethical commitment, has become increasingly central to social work. Because feminism encompasses values that are sympathetic--if not identical--to social work, it has been suggested that social work practice might be enhanced by adopting a feminist perspective. The recent literature has few references to feminist social work practice, however, and our knowledge of what feminist social workers actually do in practice is very limited. Although feminist practice is gaining a specific set of characteristics, and an emerging body of literature suggests how feminist social workers behave, there has been negligible research done to determine how feminist practice is developed, experienced, and understood by those practitioners. This exploratory qualitative study of seven self-identified feminist social workers looks at the values and beliefs underlying their approach to practice, how feminist values are integrated in practice, and the meaning attributed to practicing from a feminist perspective. Additionally, in order to determine the influence of theoretical orientation on the participants' approach to the social work process, the study looked at the influence of three feminist theoretical perspectives--liberal, radical, and socialist--on the social work process of problem identification, assessment, and formulation of treatment strategies and goals. The findings suggest that the women in this study view their feminist identification as integral to, and synonymous with, their personal and professional identity. It was also found that this group of feminist social workers explicitly applies individual values and beliefs in practice. It was concluded that feminist theoretical orientation is suggestive, but not predictive, of an individual's approach to the social work process. The feminist social workers in this study, regardless of theoretical orientation, appear to have more similarities than differences in their values and beliefs, and in their approaches to practice.
