Concepts from Intentional Helping and Opinions Regarding The

            Concepts from Intentional Helping and Opinions Regarding Them.
             Overall I felt the book Intentional Helping was a very informative and useful text. Many of the concepts it discussed were things that I have felt were important and it really helped focus those ideas. For this assignment I am going to use a format of stating the concept as a header and then define and add opinion below it.
             Aspects of Caring.
             The book talks about several aspects of caring two of which stood out to me. They were self-knowledge and accepting others. The book states that as helpers we must offer more than good intentions and positive regard it also seems imperative that you would want to know as much as possible about how to help. The book also talked about accepting your client as they are. I feel that these are two extremely important concepts to anyone who wants to be in the helping profession. Without either of these aspects you are no longer helping anyone.
             Balancing Care.
             Balancing the care you give to others with the care you give yourself is another concept the book talks about. To often people in this business get out of balanced and then start feeling they are owed the difference. This seems to manifest itself as an excuse to justify bad behavior like just showing up for the check. I strongly agree that maintaining a balance makes you better equipped to provide care.
             Being Trustworthy.
             The book talks about how helpers ask clients to trust them with their feelings and thoughts. They also say that this trust must be reciprocal. As a teacher I have always been very aware that all my decisions and actions create a precedent with that class. I learned that the feeling of trustworthiness creates a better learning environment but also allows students to feel that they will be treated fairly.
             Maintaining Flexibility.
             The authors talk about people becoming so automatic and precise that they lose the ability to adapt to the current situation.
