Chapter 3
To what degree are you aware of your core values and how they could affect the way you work with clients?
My core values are deeply engrained in my life, including feelings, judgments, beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes. However, I never let these values affect the way I work with clients.

How does knowledge about the stages of helping influence what you do with a client? What is the helper’s role at various stages in the helping process?
Knowledge of the stages of helping is essential in ensuring one helps their client fully. The helper plays an essential role in all the stages. They should establish a working relatio...
