Abstract
This paper reports on the development and psychometric properties of an instrument for identifying feminist family therapy skills. Family therapy sessions of 60 therapists in a variety of settings were rated using the Feminist Family Therapist Behavior Checklist. The checklist was found to discriminate between self-reported feminists and nonfem-inists, between men and women, and between expert categorizations of feminist and nonfeminist therapy sessions. Additional validity and reliability data are reported. Potential uses of this checklist are discussed for clinicians, educators and researchers.Keywords
