A Feminist Family Therapy Scale*

This paper reports on the development and psychometric properties of a 17‐item instrument intended to reflect the degree to which family therapists conceptualize the process of family therapy from a feminist‐informed perspective. Items were adapted from those generated by 37 feminist‐informed family therapists in a previous study. Factor analysis results on 383 subjects reflect a unidimensional scale. The Feminist Family Therapy Scale had a Cronbach Alpha of 83 and was found to discriminate between (a) self indentified feminists and nonfeminists, (b) women and men, and (c) subjects scoring higher on Scanzoni's (1975) Sex Role Modernity Scale and those scoring lower. Additional psychometric data are reported, and possible uses of this scale are discussed.
