Abstract
The Hebrew word mishkan, literally translated as “dwelling place,” can be a useful metaphor for integrating feminism and spirituality into clinical social work practice. After identifying a basic vocabulary of concepts from social work, feminism and spirituality, what follows in this article are suggestions for skills, interventions and strategies utilized in making an assessment with clients, as well as throughout the therapeutic relationship. Three case examples are provided to illustrate concepts and strategies. The value of collaboration and study with peers, teachers, and mentors is also emphasized. Culture, race and diversity are discussed, as they are an integral part of spirituality, relationships, identity and politics. The article closes with a discussion about implications for future practice.
