Abstract
The tension between charitable concern and scientific professionalism has created an uneasy balance in the history of social work. This article examines the problems inherent in the social worker's self-conscious commitment to care. Feminist scholarship has recently given considerable attention to the moral development of women based on a relational model of care. This article discusses this feminine view of ethics and female social workers. The arena of caring, traditionally considered women's domain, is examined as a rational field of inquiry requiring further theoretical development.
