ABSTRACT
Extent and limits of responsibility Caseworkers sometimes find it difficult to believe that they occupy such an extremely important place in the client's mental life, especially when a client does not appear to value the contact. This is misplaced modesty, for this important position of the caseworker owes, at least at the beginning of the relationship, little to the worker's ability. It is derived from the wealth of feelings which the client brings into the relationship with the professional helper.
