Using an anti-oppressive practice (AOP) theoretical framework and an exploratory qualitative research design, featuring semi-structured interviews and written assignments, a group of ten social workers were asked to describe their understandings of the concept of oppression. The study found that, in the case of these particular social workers, they used metaphor as a key conceptualization process to more vividly describe and understand the concept of oppression within their social work practice. This article analyzes eight categories of metaphor themes the participants used to explain their understanding of oppression: (a) pressure; (b) earth; (c) quest; (d) nature of society; (e) seeing; (f) building; (g) dancing; and (h) water. The research findings are intended to open up dialogue and thinking about the concept of oppression, increase our knowledge base and understandings of oppression within social work practice, and assist the social work profession to build a stronger conceptual framework for understanding and naming oppression with the end goal of assisting social workers to better respond to and resist systems of domination.

Using an exploratory qualitative research design featuring semistructured interviews, the author asked a group of 10 male and female social workers to describe their conceptualizations of and experiences with oppression.

The findings indicate that the male and female participants had different experiences, articulations, and conceptualizations of oppression. In addition, for the most part, they did not explicitly acknowledge positions of privilege and entitlement or articulate how these factors have played out in their clinical and personal relationships.
