With whatever was appropriate, he brought a touch, a word, a question, and took time with individuals even when pressed by the urgency of needs ( which is often the excuse we professionals use for our dehumanizing behavior)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000945683563344615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-45639167453447064942008-07-16T10:37:00.000-05:002008-07-16T10:37:00.000-05:00chris, the graphics didn't work. . .the link will ...chris, the graphics didn't work. . .the link will be back tomorrow.

I understand the need to maintain professional boundaries, but I don't think that precludes us from treating people like they are real and ordinary. I think the problem comes from the psychological/diagnosis mentality that some social workers have with clients. (Some of it may come from social workers who feel the profession is not fully accepted/legitimized.) While it is important for us to understand the problems clients face, I think we have to avoid the medical terminology of diagnosis and treatment that seem to imply the people we serve are somehow different or inferior.Daniel Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222247788683568388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9827454.post-89776170128892747812008-07-16T09:55:00.001-05:002008-07-16T09:55:00.001-05:00What happened to the "green" post?
