Abstract

This paper addresses three primary moral and ethical issues faced by feminist therapists working with women in prison: (a) working in a racist and patriarchal institution, (b) conducting therapy in a setting that can be antithetical to the inherent vulnerability and the development of trust involved in the therapeutic relationship, and (c) the therapist's dual allegiance to the institution and the woman seeking therapy. A discussion of ways feminist therapists might morally and ethically work in a penal or Other institutional system concludes this paper.
