Document Summary

Chapter 1: throughout this book, then, the term helper refers to the individual providing assistance, and the term client refers to the person receiving support. In the first phase, clients change rapidly in terms of feeling subjectively better. These defenses become problematic, however, when the individual cannot discriminate when it is appropriate to use defenses: how people feel has an impact on how they think and behave, how they behave effects how they feel. In summary, i believe that people are influenced by both their biology and their environment, particularly early experiences that contribute to the development of attachment to others and self-esteem. Furthermore, although people are influenced by past experiences, they have some choice and free will and an impetus to make a difference and have meaning in their lives. If client talks about harming themselves, you must report it to police. If client reveals occurrences of abuse of children, disabled, or old people: recognizing limits.
