This article compares the potential for self-employment to facilitate women's economic empowerment with traditional options for women's economic self-sufficiency. It concludes that self-employment programs are potentially subversive to patriarchy and the state be cause through them, low-income women can gain independence from male dominance in the home and the workplace and from the collective male control of the social welfare system.

This article traces the tides of three waves of feminism that have flowed within the United States and highlights the critical contributions of theoretical insights from these waves to expand and enhance social workers' understanding of the lives of women and the social environment. In particular, the article highlights the specific contributions of a set of core concepts (gender, care, power, difference, and diversity) that emerged within feminist theory and analysis during the second and third waves of U.S. feminism to social work's understanding of women's lives and the social environment and to assessment of the person—environment interaction.

Abstract
Given the still emerging evidence base about the effectiveness of practices, such as mindfulness, somatics, and integrative body-mind-spirit social work, there is a need to know more about the impacts that training in such areas can have on social workers and their professional work. This mixed-methods article reports on a pilot study that explored practitioners' perceptions regarding the impact of learning holistic engagement practice (HEP) skills on their service delivery and well-being. The research inquires into the perceptions of social workers who received the training, particularly in relation to their quality of presence and the therapeutic relationship; HEP as a form of self-care and a facilitator of compassion satisfaction; the impact it has on social work practice and settings; and the facilitators and barriers to using holistic engagement. Implications from the findings focus on the need for additional research, training, organizational change, and communities of practice to facilitate changes that could promote more effective social work practice, greater levels of empathy, and compassion satisfaction.
