This article reports an investigation of practitioners' views and practices regarding gender and the Satir growth model. Quantitative and qualitative data were used to determine if and how Satir-based practitioners incorporate attention to gender issues in their work. Emergent themes from the data suggest that practitioners incorporate gender in their use of the growth model by (1) paying attention to the societal context in which families are embedded, (2) surfacing and transforming old learnings about gendered roles, and (3) facilitating the creation of egalitarian relationships in families. Specific examples of these themes are given, and guidelines for integrating gender in practice are suggested.
