Thanks (Karen) There are so many characteristics that human service professional should possess and each one of those characteristics will benefit other in one way or another however I think (1) compassion for others is key to began conversation into the problems that affect the client (2) empathy to be able to feel what your client is expressing or not expressing, but be present regardless, (3) loyalty is really important, your client has to know they can count on you to do your best where they are concern , with confidence, patience, and understanding that each client is an individual, they will be treated with dignity and respect. In the video Dr Corsini conducted with Michelle and Linda on domestic violence was helpful in defining the role of human service professionals, I think that it would be easy to judge or jump to conclusions in the case of domestic violence without all the facts. I tend to sympathize with the victims maybe in ways that are not helpful. I know how to be a supportive friend but I am learning how to be an effective counselor, advocate, or professional who can make a difference in the lives of others. I have to work on not becoming consumed in the lives of my clients, so I can be effective in their treatment. The Bible teaches us to be compassionate toward one another 1 Thessalonians, 4: 12 that ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye a have lack of nothing. (KJV) “A good man sheet favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. Psalm112:5 (KJV) “Let your moderation be known unto all men, the lord is at hand Philippians 4:5 Matthew 19: 19 Love thy neighbor as thyself” (KJV
