Abstract

Based on empirical studies, the article discusses the issues of developing indigenous social work for women in China, especially in response to the changing needs resulting from economic reform and women's self-concepts. The western feminist model is deconstructed as a form of domination over women in developing countries. Some practice principles are highlighted, in the context of rising concerns over family violence.
