Traditionally, practice with victims and perpetrators of intimate partner violence and sexual assault has utilized some form of a feminist model. Many critiques have been raised within the practice community as to the efficacy of the feminist model as an approach to violence against women practice. This study utilized qualitative interviews to discern what individuals who teach and/or research violence against women think about the application of the feminist model to violence against women practice. Interviews were conducted with 11 individuals in the state of Ohio. Findings support continued use of a feminist approach in conjunction with other practice models. A Conflict Model of Violence Against Women Theory and Practice was developed to describe the pattern of tensions between various actors in violence against women practice. Successes of the feminist model in practice are discussed, as well as implications for social work, critiques and directions for future research.
